How to Interpret the Latest Government UFO Report
The long-awaited government report on UFOs has finally been released. What did we learn? And what does it say about the future of ufology?
As we’ve previously reported, the Intelligence Authorization Act for 2021 called on the Director of National Intelligence, as well as the heads of other intelligence agencies, to submit a report and detailed analysis of all unidentified aerial phenomena held by the U.S. government. That report has just been released.
Nick Pope, who worked for the U.K.’s Ministry of Defense investigating UFOs, said, “The bottom line in this nine-page report is ‘yes, these things are real, yes they interact with our military jets, our aircraft carriers (and) destroyers, our pilots see them, our radar operators track them, but no, we don’t have the faintest idea of what we’re dealing with.'”

Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA’S associate administrator for science added, “We have the tools and team who can help us improve our understanding of the unknown. That’s the very definition of what science is. That’s what we do.”
