The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) released a long-awaited report on Friday about what the U.S. government knows about sightings of UFOs — officially known as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) — and concluded that some of the technology that has been observed could pose a threat to U.S. national security. In recent weeks, former and current members of the U.S. Military have made appearances on news programs to describe incidents they claimed they witnessed that involved technology that far exceeded that which is possessed by the United States — which has the world’s most sophisticated military technology. The report said that 18 out of 144 reported incidents showed UAP that potentially demonstrated advanced technology, and that out of those incidents, U.S. military aircraft systems detected radio frequency or a degree of signature management, meaning efforts to avoid detection. The report cautioned that data collected could be inaccurate due to “sensor errors, spoofing, or observer misperception.” The Director of National Intelligence said that the UAP observed by the U.S. government fall into one of five categories: The report, which is the unclassified version released to the public, said that UAP could pose a serious risk to U.S. national security if it is a foreign adversary that possesses a “breakthrough or disruptive technology.” The report found no evidence of any kind of alien life.
