• As there has been “thousands” of reports of UFO/alien-related occurrences in the US military, and military pilots who “were afraid to report these strange things happening—for fear it would affect their advancement in the officer corps”, former Senator Harry Reid helped secure funding for UFO-studying efforts in the Pentagon. “The one thing that we established is that not a dozen people have seen these occurrences. Not 100 of them,” noted the former senator. “Thousands of people have seen them.”
• In August 2020, the Pentagon re-established a task force dedicated to investigating UFO sightings and alien-related incidents. It is unclear what the ‘Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force’ will be doing, but the Pentagon will soon have to provide members of Congress with what is currently known about the existence of UFOs and aliens.
• Whether UFO sightings are of an extraterrestrial origin or will be found to come from an Earth-bound adversary, people expect the task force to use sophisticated technology to find the truth. “Space travel is difficult—for many reasons,” says Dr. Joseph Pesce, an astrophysicist with the National Science Foundation’s division of astronomical sciences. “I’m not arrogant enough to think that we know everything about nature and the universe, and the laws of nature.” Dr. Pesce does not rule out the possibility of out-of-this-world ‘tools’ to be used to “understand the universe around us and our part in it.”
In 2020 the Pentagon established a task force dedicated to puzzling UFO sightings and
several reports of alien-related incidents. With possible extraterrestrial activity long bothering the minds of both scientists and citizens, the new agency has only boosted curiosity around the “little green men”.
There have been “thousands” of reports of alien-related occurrences in the military, according to former Senator Harry Reid, who helped secure funding for UFO-studying efforts during his time at Congress, Nextgov reported.
“In the past, pilots were afraid to report these strange things happening—for fear it would affect their advancement in the officer corps”, Reid told Nextgov in one of the episodes of the podcast ‘Critical Update’.
He also noted that many people he randomly encounters at work often ask him about UFOs, and the report outlined that the government will soon have to provide members of Congress with what is currently known about allegations of the existence of aliens.
“The one thing that we established is that not a dozen people have seen these occurrences. Not 100 of them. Thousands of people have seen them”, the former senator noted.
In August 2020, the Pentagon announced the formation of a task force dedicated to what is believed to be UFO-related issues. Although it is unclear what the so-called Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force will be doing, some are hyped about the mysteries in space that could potentially be solved.
