UFO hearing: Number of "Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon" sightings on the rise, US says

For the first time in more than half a century, the U.S. held a public hearing about UFOs on Tuesday morning. The hearing came almost a year after a report found that U.S. military pilots had encountered over 144 UFOs since 2004.

Since the early 2000s, the U.S. has seen an increase in the number of unauthorized or unidentifiable objects due to an increase in aerospace “clutter” and growing capabilities of sensory technology.

Brad Wenstrup, U.S. representative for Ohio's 2nd congressional district, warned that the sharing of aerospace information and technology between different nations can be a “national security challenge” for the U.S. if improperly used by adversaries.

Throughout the hearing, examples of photo and video footage of UAP were shared to provide context and possible explanations of reported incidents. The hearing was later moved onto a closed session for continued discussion.

In June of 2021, a special report on UAP was delivered to Congress. The unclassified, nine-page report acknowledges 144 encounters with Unidentified Aerial Phenomena since 2004. It only managed to explain one of those sightings as a deflated weather balloon, and it did not provide any new videos or photos of the other mysterious encounters.
