This week, the Pentagon shared an intelligence document with Congress, outlining its ongoing investigations into UFOs, officially referred to as “unidentified anomalous phenomena” (UAP). The 2023 Annual Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena disclosed over 200 sightings this year alone.
According to the report, although there have been more UFO sightings, they pose no threat. The document highlighted 291 new sightings, primarily occurring in 2022. As of April 30, 2023, the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has examined over 800 cases in total.
AARO, leading the Department of Defense’s efforts, is responsible for documenting and analyzing potential otherworldly sightings. The reported sightings predominantly occurred in restricted military airspace, likely due to reports from military personnel and the presence of numerous sensors in those areas. However, reports from commercial pilots have reduced this bias, revealing a more diverse geographic distribution of UAP sightings across the United States.
Crucially, none of the reports indicate that these mysterious crafts interfere with normal air traffic.
“While the mere presence of UAP in the airspace represents a potential hazard to flight safety, none of these reports suggest the UAP maneuvered to an unsafe proximity to civil or military aircraft, positioned themselves in flight paths, or otherwise posed a direct threat to the flight safety of the observing aircraft,” the document stated.
Throughout the reporting period, AARO stated that they did not receive any statements suggesting that UAP sightings have been linked to any negative health consequences.
However, they also added, “many reports from military witnesses do present potential safety of flight concerns, and there are some cases where reported UAP have potentially exhibited one or more concerning performance characteristics such as high-speed travel or unusual maneuverability.”
“The safety of our service personnel, our bases and installations, and the protection of U.S. operations security on land, in the skies, seas, and space are paramount,” said Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, who also expressed gratitude to the many collaborative departments and agencies that were part of the report. “We take reports of incursions into our designated space, land, sea, or airspaces seriously and examine each one.”
The UAP report for this year includes incidents from August 31, 2022, to April 30, 2023, along with 17 additional cases that happened between 2019 and 2022, which were not part of previous annual reports. In total, there are 291 reports covered in the current report.
