US Government Publishes 510 Reports about Alien Aircraft

VIVA – The Pentagon’s new office for investigating potential UAP/UFO or Alien aircraft sightings received 510 new reports in 2022. This also has been published by the United States (US) Government.

The 2022 Annual Report on Unclassified Aerial Phenomena was published by the Department of Defense's Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) after months of delay. This report was mandated by the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act and was produced by ODNI's National Intelligence Manager for Aviation and the newly established All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).

Inputs were collected from various intelligence agencies and military intelligence offices, including the Federal Aviation Administration, National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Energy (DoE), and NASA.

In all, the data includes about 510 cataloged UAP reports collected from agencies involved in the report and branches of the United States military. The document notes that most were collected from US Navy and Air Force personnel who reported them through official channels.

In the end, unclassified reports concluded that UAPs/UFOs were detected that posed a danger to flight safety and posed a possible enemy collection threat.

Many reports lacked sufficiently detailed data to allow the attribution of UAPs with high certainty. Of this total of 510 UAP reports, ODNI assessed 366 as newly identified since the creation of the AARO.

Of these, 26 were characterized as unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) or drones, 163 were attributed to balloons or balloon-like entities and six were found to be airborne clutter such as birds or plastic shopping bags in the air.

That leaves 171 reported UAP sightings that remain 'uncharacterized and unattributed'. Some of these unidentified UAPs appear to have exhibited unusual flight characteristics or performance capabilities and require further analysis.

While there are no surprisingly definitive conclusions about the origins of the UAPs or UFOs seen in the incidents analyzed in the ODNI report, the document highlights the increased emphasis on airspace safety, driven in part by the recent proliferation of drones.

"UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) continue to happen in restricted or sensitive airspace, highlighting possible concerns for flight safety or enemy collection activity," ODNI said in the report.

Additionally, the report notes that factors such as weather conditions, lighting, and atmospheric effects can affect the observation of suspected UAPs. However, the report notes that some UFO incidents may have been caused by operator or equipment errors in the sensors used that detected UAPs in these events.

"It is clear that there is an urgent and critical need to improve aerospace safety by dedicating scientific research into UAPs," said Ryan Graves, a former Navy F/A-18 pilot and chairman of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics' Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena Integration & Outreach Committee (UAPIOC).

Moreover, there are no confirmed UFO encounters that directly contribute to adverse health effects for bystanders, contrary to many claims made in recent years.
