<\/div>UFO Task Force<\/h2>
The Pentagon’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) Task Force, a program dedicated to investigating UFO sightings, is ready to start reporting some of its findings to the public, The New York Times<\/em> reports<\/a>.<\/p> The news comes after the Senate released a committee report<\/a> last month outlining spending for the unusual task force.<\/p> Determining whether aliens exist is not the main objective, unfortunately. The main goal, as outlined in the report, is to investigate “any links [UFOs] have to adversarial foreign governments, and the threat they pose to U.S. military assets and installations.”<\/p> Just last week, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, suggested to local news station CBS Miami<\/em><\/a> that another country like China or Russia could have made “some technological leap,” explaining previous sightings near US military bases.<\/p> News about the Pentagon’s efforts to collect and investigate UAP encounters first broke in a 2017 New York Times<\/em> investigation<\/a>, accompanied by several videos of mysterious encounters with still-unexplained flying objects.<\/p> The report also found that the Defense Department had been running investigations as part of its Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program since 2007.<\/p> Over the last few years, the Pentagon has started officially releasing the videos<\/a> and previously classified reports<\/a> about the encounters as well.<\/p> Congress has also recently turned up the pressure<\/a> on the task force in an effort to have all data relating to the mysterious encounters released to the public.<\/p> “It no longer has to hide in the shadows,” Luis Elizondo, the former military intelligence official, who was in charge of a preceding program dedicated to UAPs, told the Times<\/em>. “It will have a new transparency.”<\/p> READ MORE: <\/strong>No Longer in Shadows, Pentagon’s U.F.O.
