The denial came as part of a much-anticipated congressional hearing into UFOs—what the government officially refers to as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs)— ...

Bray did point out that some UAPs have more data on them than others, such as cases where there have been indications of flight characteristics that he described as "not what we had expected." The report noted that there were 11 cases of near misses between pilots and a UAP. The two gave little away about what UAPs were, stating that their characteristics remained largely unexplained.

“Those are obviously the ones that are of most interest to us.” Those are the ones that continue to capture the imagination of the public. “When it comes to material that we have, we have no material — we have detected no emanations within the UAP Task Force that would suggest it’s anything non-terrestrial in origin,” Bray said. Now, the UAP Task Force is certain that the original video contained a drone, as well. Today’s hearing served as a check-in on that task force from various representatives who have taken an interest in the topic. Today’s hearing is just the latest chapter in a recent saga that has renewed interest in UAP sightings.

Congress this week held its first public hearing on unidentified aerial phenomena in more than 50 years.

“We are all curious and we seek to understand the unknown,” Moultrie said. Public discussions are also key to encouraging the collection of more information on sightings so there can be a rigorous scientific analysis of every incident, officials said. His work has earned numerous honors, including a 2009 Polk award, a 2010 National Headliner Award, the IAVA Leadership in Journalism award and the VFW News Media award. That’s because military officials believe that nearly all of the unexplained events could be explained with more research and observation. “And as a lifelong intelligence professional, I’m impatient. Pentagon leaders are establishing a new office focused on the UAPs, “to facilitate the identification of previously unknown or unidentified airborne objects in a methodically logical and standardized manner,” Moultrie said.

They stressed that classification in of itself isn't evidence of a cover-up, but rather it is an example of the intelligence community doing everything it can to keep its sources and methods protected. "It would be pretty presumptuous to have a hard and fast conclusion. Bray said because the video was taken through night vision goggles with a "single-lens reflex camera," it was difficult to perceive what they might be. "For too long, the stigma associated with UAPs has gotten in the way of good intelligence analysis, good reporting, or pilots who were laughed at when they did. "To me, among the most fascinating questions are these phenomena that we can measure, that is instruments report that something is there. "There is something there, measurable by multiple instruments, and yet it seems to move in directions that are inconsistent with what we know with physics or science more broadly."

Unidentified aerial phenomena are a potential national security threat, and they need to be treated that way,” the committee chairperson said.

“I welcome a dialogue with Congress to talk about that,” he added. The military officials stated repeatedly that they trust sensors and instruments, and consider “narrative-based” witness statements to be less reliable, Eghigian noted. (They promised to look into it.) There were no records of collisions with any UAPs, although there had been 11 “near-misses” reported, Bray said. The hearing was a follow-up to a report released last June by the director of national intelligence that looked at 144 UAP observations made by military pilots from 2004 to 2021. “We know our service members have encountered unidentified aerial phenomena,” Defense Department intelligence official Ronald Moultrie said at the hearing. “These kinds of events live on within the community.
