More than 500 incidents are now being looked at by the U.S. government.
U.S. intelligence agencies have confirmed hundreds of additional "unidentified aerial phenomena" sightings.The U.S. intelligence community said Thursday that the number of UFO reports involving U.S. military personnel is increasing, "enabling a greater awareness of the airspace and increased opportunity to resolve" what is actually being reported.
The new report said the Pentagon's new office looking at UAP reports has looked at 366 new reported incidents and initially determined that about half of them have "unremarkable characteristics."Twenty-six are being attributed to drones, 163 characterized as balloon or balloon-like entities, and six are attributed to clutter.
The long-awaited report was originally expected to be released by last Oct. 31, the deadline set in the congressional legislation mandating annual updates to the first-ever unclassified U.S. intelligence report. At a congressional hearing earlier this year, Pentagon officials had said the number of UAP incidents under investigation had risen to more than 400.
"At this time, the answer's no," said Ron Moultrie, the under secretary of defense for intelligence and security. "We have nothing."While the director of national intelligence has been tasked with providing the annual report, the Pentagon's new All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office is working with other federal agencies to review unidentified aerial phenomena incidents.
