Nov 14, 2024, 11:31 PM

The Pentagon's latest report on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) reveals a significant increase in UFO sightings, with over 700 new reports from May 2023 through June 2024. The report, which includes 1,652 sightings on record, highlights that 757 of these were reported just this year. Despite the surge in reports, including incidents where mysterious craft shadowed U.S. military aircraft and flew over nuclear sites, there is no verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial technology or beings. The Pentagon's office investigating these phenomena received 21 reports last year that contain enough data for further investigation. However, hundreds of sightings remain unexplained, with at least 21 flagged as 'true anomalies'. The Defense Department's report also emphasizes that there is no evidence suggesting an extraterrestrial origin for these incidents.
