Fast Facts for June 25, 2021
The unclassified UFO report is out.
But don’t get too excited.
Overall the feds say there isn’t enough concrete information to make a determination of what these objects are or what kind of threat they specifically pose. Saying limited data and inconsistency in reporting makes classifying or evaluating these UAPs challenging. They say reports may actually be the result of sensor errors, spoofing, or observer misconception.
The report released by the office of the director of national intelligence is a whopping nine-pages. – yeah – all those strange videos – nine pages.
To be fair this is a preliminary assessment of what the feds call unidentified aerial phenomena or UAPs.
Based on “reliable sources” like military personnel, the DNI used a new reporting system and found:
- Between 2004 and 2021
- 144 credible reports with 80 of those being picked up by multiple sensors
- In 18 incidents, described in 21 reports, observers reported unusual UAP movement patterns or flight characteristics, like unusual speed, remaining stationary or maneuvering abruptly
Down the road — once thoroughly identified by the government these UAPs would fall into 5 potential categories — airborne clutter, natural atmospheric phenomena, USG or US military classified programs, foreign adversary systems, or “other”.
Here’s what the DNI did confirm – these UAPs do pose a safety risk to planes and could be a “challenge” to national security.
The DNI office was required by law to declassify some of these incidents by congress last year and concluded the report by asking for more money to further study and classify these and any more UAPs.
