In reply to the discussion: UFO Hearing totally erased all other coverage. Not. [View all]Kid Berwyn
(14,905 posts)The subject of UFOs is a field filled with absurd events, individuals and hypotheses. Those who take a scientific approach are doing their best to separate the signal from the noise.
In the recent hearings, the Pentagon and Homeland Security officials reported that the US Navy photos and videos were backed up by radar records and eyewitnesses. They would not talk about the multi-sensor data in public session. They also did not address in public what physical traces have been recovered.
What the public data the USN has gathered seem to show: the phenomenon performs what seem like observations, tracks our aircraft and ships for hours, buzzes our ships and planes in near-collisions, seemingly travel from space to the atmosphere and sometimes into the ocean. Its not just a few reports, but at least 400 over recent years.
I am thankful to the late Sen. Harry Reid for helping start the new studies and efforts to learn more. Heres the unclassified 2021 report in PDF:

PS: My dad served in the USN medical corps in the early 1960s. He told me it was all BS, too.
