The American ufologists were happy too soon. Senior officials have now dampened expectations after the intelligence services announced they would submit a report to Congress on unidentifiable aerial phenomena in the coming weeks. As they told the New York Times, it can be ruled out that the sightings in recent years were objects in flight by the government in Washington or the American military. However, it cannot be ruled out that the observations off the California coast were based on experiments in hyperspace through China or Russia. In addition, the announced report should not, as expected by many ufologists, contain information about aliens that has been kept secret so far.
As has become known in recent months, American fighter pilots and crews of aircraft carriers had repeatedly observed “unidentified aerial phenomena” off San Diego.
In an interview with CNN, the former pilot Alex Dietrich remembered a flying object in the form of a tic tac that she and three other Navy soldiers had tracked down during a training flight in 2004.
The Ministry of Defense also released photos and videos of UFOs.
In total, the secret services are said to have evaluated more than 120 sightings in the past almost 20 years.
In the case of some of the flying objects, the high speed at which they were moving was noticeable.
The expected study should not contain any information on acceleration, the observed rapid course changes or the ability of the flying objects to dive into the ocean.
Former President Donald Trump launched the report on UFOs in spring 2020 as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act aid package.
The study should be presented to Congress by June 25th at the latest.
With consideration for the security of the United States, the former head of the now discontinued program for the identification of threats in the aerospace industry, Luis Elizondo, repeatedly urged openness when investigating the much ridiculed objects in flight.
"We are not having a stupid debate, but a discussion about someone from an unknown place who is using extremely advanced technology in our airspace," warned the former Pentagon employee.
"And so far we can't do anything about it."
