The Pentagon said it has established a new high-level body to investigate reports of 'unidentified aerial phenomenon' following multiple incidents in recent years of UFOs reportedly intruding into military airspace.
The Pentagon announcement on Friday also comes several weeks after the Senate’s version of the Intelligence Authorization Act required the director of national intelligence and secretary of defense, working with a variety of intelligence and law enforcement agencies,"We have things flying over our military bases and places where we are conducting military exercises, and we don't know what it is and it isn't ours, so that's a legitimate question to ask," Sen.
"They can't ignore it anymore," Elizondo said. "They are looking like they are hiding something from the American people. Not taking this more seriously is now a liability."Gough, the Pentagon spokesperson, said Friday she could not provide specifics on how many personnel or from which agencies have been assigned to the new operation.
"The Department of the Navy, under the cognizance of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, will lead the UAPTF," her statement said. "Over the last year, DoD undertook efforts to formalize the good work done by the Navy for DoD," she added. "Deputy Secretary Norquist approved the establishment of the UAPTF on Aug. 4, 2020."
