The Director of National Intelligence’s 2022 report states that since June 2021, 247 reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena have been submitted to him.
In addition, the report states that another 119 cases were discovered that were buried in old records from the past 17 years, leaving 510 reports unsorted. Most of the new messages come from Navy and Air Force pilots, he said.
Of these, about 200 had unremarkable explanations: they were balloons, drones or so-called airborne interference, weather events and airborne plastic bags.
But a number of others have not been explained, in connection with which they are in the focus of attention of the Pentagon, US intelligence services and NASA due to fears not that these are not alien spacecraft, but unknown spy objects of other countries.
“UFOs continue to pose a threat to US Air Force flights and may pose a potential threat to enemy data collection,” the report said.
