The latest U.S. defence intelligence report on UFOs, now called “unidentified aerial phenomena” in official government language, is expected to be made public in the next few days.
But people who are interested in UFOs and hope that the government will decide that any of the hundreds of U.S. military sightings that are being looked into are visits by alien spacecraft are likely to be disappointed.
The most recent incidents being looked into were caused by a mix of foreign surveillance, like ordinary drone flights, and airborne clutter, like weather balloons, The New York Times reported last week, citing U.S. officials familiar with a classified analysis that was supposed to be given to Congress on Monday, Oct. 31.
The Times said that too little data has been analysed to come to any conclusions about many of the older UAPs, which stand for “unexplained aerial phenomena.”
In a statement this week, Sue Gough, a spokesperson for the U.S. Defense Department, said, “There is no one explanation that fits most of the UAP reports.” “We are gathering as much information as we can and going where the information leads us.” “We will share our findings as soon as we can.”

She said that the U.S. government should be careful not to give foreign enemies “sensitive information” about what U.S. intelligence knows about their surveillance operations and how they know it.
It remains to be seen what, if anything, the UAP report says about whether any of the strange things could have been made by aliens or even by some kind of advanced, hypersonic spy craft flown by a foreign enemy.
A representative from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), which is in charge of sending UAP assessments to Capitol Hill, wouldn’t say anything about what the report said.
The analysis is done by the intelligence office and a new Pentagon office called AARO, which stands for the cryptically named All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office.
In June 2021, the first Defense Intelligence UAP report to Congress looked at 144 sightings made by U.S. military pilots as far back as 2004. Most of these sightings were recorded by more than one instrument.
One of the events was linked to a large balloon that was deflating, but the rest could not be explained by the government without more research.
In May of this year, senior defence intelligence officials told Congress that the Pentagon’s newly formed task force had officially recorded 400 UAPs.
At the time, they said that analysts didn’t have any proof that any of the sightings were alien spacecraft, but most of the UAP reports were still unanswered.
One of them was a video released by the Pentagon that showed mysterious flying objects seen by Navy pilots that moved faster and turned more quickly than any known aircraft and didn’t have any visible means of propulsion or flight control surfaces.
“In many cases, things that have been seen are labelled as “unidentified” because sensors did not gather enough information to be able to say for sure what they were,” Gough said. “We are working to make up for these gaps in the future and make sure we have enough data for our analysis.”
The latest Pentagon report will be released soon. On Oct. 24, a NASA-led panel, the first of its kind, began a separate, parallel study of unclassified UFO sighting data from civilian government and commercial sectors.
