The Senate Armed Services Committee held a public hearing yesterday regarding recent sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs, marking the second-such event in more than 50 years.
🏛️🛸 The testimony: Sean Kirkpatrick, head of the Pentagon’s newly-established UAP office, told Congress that his team is currently reviewing more than 650 UAP incidents reported by military personnel in recent years. That’s up from 510 in January.
Kirkpatrick said the majority of unresolved UAP reports can likely be chalked up to mundane reasons – like balloons, unmanned drones, or natural phenomena – but the cases still remain open because there aren’t enough details to draw a formal conclusion.
On the flip side, a “very small percentage” of UAP reports display characteristics that could “reasonably be described as 'anomalous'” – which isn’t a fancy word for “aliens.”
🤔 Punch, counter-punch: Two brand-new UAP videos were unveiled before Congress yesterday – one incident that reportedly can’t be explained by available data, and another that reportedly can.
