According to a declassified version of a new Pentagon study issued on Thursday, US government agencies witnessed a considerable rise in UFO occurrences between 2021 and 2022, in part because of a greater knowledge of the hazards they may represent.
The Pentagon’s Office of the Director of National Intelligence created the report, titled “2022 Annual Report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena,” which is also known as UFOs or UAPs (ODNI). It comprises 510 sightings in all, which were reported up through the end of August 2022.
Included in this total are 144 UAP reports that the ODNI investigated and tallied in an early evaluation over the course of 17 years prior to March 2021. However, the number of confirmed UFO encounters surged, reaching 366 between that time and August 2022.
A greater awareness of the potential risks that UAP may provide, either as safety of flight issues or as potential enemy gathering platforms, was cited in the text as one explanation for this rise. The “reduced stigma surrounding UAP reporting” is another factor, it was claimed.
26 unmanned aircraft systems or things that resembled them were classified as unmanned aircraft systems out of 366 newly recorded sightings, while 163 were classified as “balloon or balloon-like phenomena.” Clutter was responsible for an additional six. The remaining 171 reports have eluded the Pentagon’s ability to interpret them.
According to the assessment, “UAP occurrences continue to occur in restricted or sensitive airspace, raising potential issues for aircraft safety or enemy collecting operations.” Washington stated that it “will continue to examine any evidence of probable participation by a foreign government in UAP events” in this line.
According to unidentified US authorities quoted in a New York Times article from October, airborne rubbish, weather balloons, or foreign spying activities are thought to be the causes of the majority of recent UFO sightings. Despite government agencies’ best efforts to locate UFOs, according to Sue Gough, a Pentagon spokesperson, its sensors frequently fail to gather “enough evidence to establish a positive attribution.”
The US Department of Defense claimed in December that despite receiving numerous reports of mysterious airborne occurrences, it had not discovered any proof of extraterrestrial activity.
