In 1952, US fighter jets chased mysterious lights over Washington, D.C., during a series of unexplained UFO sightings that remain unresolved after more than 70 years. Despite investigations and official explanations, the true nature of these phenomena continues to intrigue and puzzle military and civilian observers, with modern reports of UAPs increasing and ongoing efforts to understand these encounters.
A NASA panel studying reports of "unidentified aerial phenomena" has said that the stigma associated with reporting UFO sightings and the harassment of people who investigate them may be hindering efforts to determine their origins. The panel presented early findings in its first public meeting and is expected to publish a final report this summer. The team highlighted the need for more high-quality data to properly investigate unusual sightings. The definition of UAPs, as they are referred to in government parlance, was recently expanded to include mysterious undersea encounters and strange sightings in the outermost parts of the planet's atmosphere.
The Pentagon is investigating around 650 cases of unidentified aerial phenomena, but has found no evidence of extraterrestrial activity, according to Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office. Approximately half of the reports have been prioritized for further review, but many cases may remain unresolved due to a lack of hard data. Kirkpatrick cautioned that foreign capabilities could be at play, but there is no evidence that unexplained events were caused by Russian or Chinese technology.
