Last year, a military task force released a hotly anticipated report on what the government calls unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP. For the first time in more than 50 years, Congress held an open hearing on unidentified flying objects.
For the first time in more than 50 years, Congress held an open hearing on unidentified flying objects.
The military officials told Congress the UAP group now has a database of about 400 reports. They said some of those encounters can be explained, but that in most cases they don’t yet have answers. And they stressed the work they’ve done to destigmatize the reporting of unexplained phenomena. Most of the reports come from military personnel, though Bray and Moultrie told lawmakers the UAP group is also coordinating with federal agencies like NASA, the FAA, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Illinois Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi asked whether the group was taking in open-source information and reports from civilians.
Another Illinois lawmaker, Rep. Darin LaHood, asked about reports from what he termed “amateur interest groups” that are unsubstantiated or manufactured – and whether there are any legal deterrents.
