Thu 20 Apr 2023:

More than 650 possible cases of so-called “unidentified aerial phenomena,” or UFOs, are being monitored by the US government, according to the director of the office created last year to focus on the sightings.

“As of this week, the team is examining 650 cases. Of that number, the team has prioritized about half of them that appear to be especially interesting and anomalous,” Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), told a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.

During his testimony, Kirkpatrick showed videos of two recently declassified cases of unidentified objects observed by U.S. military drones to demonstrate AARO’s analytic process.

The first video, showing an apparently spherical object observed in the Middle East in 2022, remains unresolved for lack of data. A second sighting from South Asia this year was resolved pending a peer review after AARO’s analysis determined the object to be a commercial aircraft.

The latest figure represents an increase from a number in an unclassified annual report issued by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in January, which said that 510 cases were cataloged through Aug. 30, 2022.

The Defense Department is working to better understand and respond to unidentified flying objects, he said.

During the hearing, Kirkpatrick showed videos of two recently declassified cases of unidentified objects spotted by US military drones and said that one of them could be resolved, but the agency still could not resolve the other.

The first video showed a small sphere passing through the screen of an MQ-9 drone camera in the Middle East in 2022. The second video showed an object flying past two MQ-9s in South Asia earlier this year.

A large number of cases remain technically unresolved, but this is primarily due to a lack of data associated with these cases, he added.

UFO PANEL TO BE HELD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER 50 YEARS IN US CONGRESS

Concerns over incursions into U.S. airspace by unknown objects have gripped Washington in recent years, and Kirkpatrick’s office was established last July to spearhead the analysis of sightings. But he also sought to temper assertions that UFOs have a non-worldly explanation.
