Last summer, the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) was created under the Department of Defense to aid in the study of UAPs (originally UFOs), and the office coordinated with the ODNI for the new report. The purpose was to implement a major step toward ensuring the safety aspect, i.e. to minimize any chance of collision with commercial or military U.S. aircraft. The extent of the safety margin was to ensure normal aircraft might avoid collisions with potential UAP in their flight paths.
On Wednesday, at a new congressional hearing (Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities) on UAP, we pretty much saw the same Pentagon song and dance we've beheld the past 5 years. That is, no admitted new insights or information regarding the truly puzzling craft sightings, such as by Navy pilots in 2017 and captured in this video;
In the hearing yesterday, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick- Director of the AARO - presented the release of two new videos, one of which was claimed to have occurred in the Middle East on July 12, 2022. This video - in color- was posted on the Pentagon's website. The video depicts an apparent silver, spherical shaped object traversing the sensor's field of view. The AARO assessed the object was not exhibiting anomalous behavior but still was unable to identify it.
The second video showed two views of an incident the Pentagon said occurred in South Asia on January 15, 2023. But for my money, neither video depicts anything as compelling as the video taken by the Nimitz pilots - and I seriously doubt any others will be found to match it anytime soon. According to Kirkpatrick:
"I want to underscore today that only a very small percentage of UAP reports display signatures that could reasonably be described as 'anomalous,' The majority of unidentified objects reported to AARO demonstrate mundane characteristics of balloons, unmanned aerial systems, clutter, natural phenomena, or other readily explainable sources,"
But we already know that.
The vast majority are indeed identified and display prosaic behavior, but there remains a core of 150-200 which up to now defy "mundane" or let us say "military acceptable" explanations. As in the case of an earlier report Kirkpatrick said the number of unresolved incidents is "due to a lack of available data" that could help investigators in their reviews. To which I say, "Balderdash!'
There is more than ample real time data, and from the best sort of trained observers - the Navy pilots. The AARO and Kirkpatrick just don't want to accept it. And we know the reason why, as it was articulated in the 2008 paper, 'Sovereignty and the UFO' by Alexander Wendt and Raymond Duvall:
Sovereignty and the UFO - Alexander Wendt, Raymond Duvall, 2008
The authors noted therein the phenomenon of the UFO tends to be rejected as real - by government sources, as well as the military and the media - because it comes up against the human concept of state sovereignty. The basic takeaway: Humans, particularly in the top echelons of government, military, can't handle the concept of competition with any kind of more advanced exterior (to Earth) civilization.
The result? Don't look for any publications of any paper affirming or demonstrating the extraterrestrial origins of UAP. Ain't gonna happen, and certainly so long as the current crop of sovereignty sensitive yahoos is running the show. This also extends to academia, which would be the likely publisher of such papers, and we already saw what happened to Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb when he had his relatively innocuous paper published in Astrophysical Journal Letters. (Which led to his book: 'Extraterrestrial:The First Sign Of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth')
What we saw in the aftermath was total overreaction unbecoming of any genuine scientist. For example, Paul M. Stutter, an astrophysicist at Ohio State University, shortly after the paper was published, tweeted
