Pentagon releases information about UFOs. The Americans published an important document

In recent years, the UFO debate has reignited in the United States. The local government attempted to investigate cases of sightings of unidentified objects in the airspace. In 2020, the Pentagon released three videos of unidentified flying objects that fueled rumors that the country had secret information about the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations. A year later, Congress held the first open hearing on UFOs in half a century. Now back to the topic.

New information about UFOs. The Pentagon submitted a report to Congress

The Pentagon analyzed cases of sightings of unidentified flying objects since 1945. On this basis, he stated, among others: that the alleged UFO note from 1961, which was supposed to come from the services, was false. “Investigations have shown that most of the sightings were ordinary objects and phenomena and the result of mistaken identification,” a Pentagon spokesman said.

Patrick Ryder emphasized that the researchers took the analyzes very seriously. “Officials approached the report with an open mind, but they simply found no evidence of extraterrestrial visitors,” he said. According to a survey conducted by the Gallup Institute in 2021, just over 40 percent Americans believe that alien spacecraft have visited Earth. This rate increased from 33 percent. in just two years.

Pentagon: Pop culture is to blame for the fascination with the UFO topic

The Pentagon report also indicated that pop culture is largely responsible for the growing interest in the topic of UFOs. “The proliferation of television shows, books, films, and vast amounts of online content and social media posts focused on topics related to ‘unidentified anomalous phenomena’ have likely influenced public discussion of these issues and reinforced these beliefs in some segments of the population,” the document says .
