In official statements, the US Navy has for the first time officially stated that the three UFO videos made public by former Blink-182 singer Tom DeLonge's UFO research organization are footage of real "unknown" objects violating American airspace.

Navy spokesperson Joseph Gradisher told Motherboard that "the Navy considers the phenomena contained/depicted in those 3 videos as unidentified." Previously, the Navy never addressed the content of the videos. The terminology here is important: The UFO community is increasingly using the terminology "unidentified aerial phenomena" to discuss unknown objects in the sky.

John Greenwald, author and curator of The Black Vault, the largest civilian archive of declassified government documents, originally reported the news. Greenwald requested information in August from the Navy regarding the content of the three popular videos purporting to show anomalous aerial objects.

    And it enables the "UFOs are aliens" weirdos.

    I thought that was the entire plan. Keep the "UFOs are aliens" weirdos busy hunting for green men instead of actually identifying secret aircraft and other things.

    I don't exactly think they're deflecting top men with that little misdirection.

    They're grey, not green.

    It's NOT a conspiracy... it's a plot.
