Of these, 21 remain unexplained.

  • AARO Director Jon Kosloski said the 21 incidents being probed involved shapes like orbs, triangles, and cylinders. He said that some cases had stumped his "physics and engineering background and time in the IC (Intelligence Community)."


The Spin

The government's lack of transparency related to UFOsUAPs is symbolic of a wider reluctance to be more open with the public on other matters. When the government keeps documents classified andleaving leaves citizens in the dark, it fuels speculation and mistrust. It's time for the government to come clean on several subjects.


There are no Pentagon cover-ups related to UFOsUAPs. These are baseless fables spread by conspiracy theorists ininside and outside of the government. The existence of UFOsthese phenomena has been diligently studied, but no one has found any evidence that they're realanything extraordinary. Mostly, sightings are actually misidentified advanced technology, secret military projects, or civilian drones.
