The government is getting serious about UFOs.
The Pentagon will soon open an office focused exclusively on investigating UFO sightings, according to a statement released by the U.S. Department of Defense on July 20.
The new office, named the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office , will serve as a central hub that collects, investigates and manages reports of UFO sightings across the DOD, which includes the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force. The office will synchronize the federal government's efforts"to detect, identify and attribute objects of interest… and, as necessary, to mitigate any associated threats to safety of operations and national security," according to the statement."This includes anomalous, unidentified space, airborne, submerged and transmedium objects."The U.S.
In 2020, the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence called for an inquiry into UFOs — or unidentified aerial phenomena , as the government prefers to call them — citing concerns that there was no unified government approach for collecting and analyzing reports of such sightings. In June 2021, the Pentagon released a report on more than 140 UFO sightings by navy pilots — and concluded that there was no evidence of alien activity in any of these instances.
Funding for the new office has been provided by the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2022 — essentially, a federal law that specifies the DOD's budget and priorities for the next fiscal year. The new office will be run by Sean M. Kirkpatrick, the chief scientist at the Defense Intelligence Agency's Missile and Space Intelligence Center, according to the statement.
