I remember there was a resident at the old TRS a while back (Annie Margaret?) who was all in not only on UFOs (which of course exist, they're simply unidentified) but the absolute belief that they were proof of aliens. Now that the appropriate agencies are being forced into greater transparency she must be going nuts just waiting for the big reveal. Of course "we don't know" will be evidence of a vast conspiracy to cover up our knowledge that there are alien life forms.
In December, Donald Trump signed the coronavirus relief and government funding bill into law. This meant that US intelligence services, from the FBI to the CIA, would later be forced to tell Congress everything they know about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).
Ok, those two sentences don't necessarily follow on from each other if you're unfamiliar with US politics, but stay with us. Within the spending bill was the Intelligence Authorization Act for 2021, and hidden in the depths of that was a clause that calls for intelligence chiefs to submit a report "to the congressional intelligence and armed services committees on unidentified aerial phenomena (also known as "anomalous aerial vehicles''), including observed airborne objects that have not been identified", within 180 days.
They will also be required to identify "potential aerospace or other threats posed by the unidentified aerial phenomena to national security, and an assessment of whether this unidentified aerial phenomena activity may be attributed to one or more foreign adversaries," which all sounds quite spicy.
In the run up to the release, expected in just a few short weeks, the US has been going through UFO fever. As well as new leaked footage from the US Navy showing a strange blob moving in an unusual pattern, several high-ranking US officials have been a lot more chatty than usual about objects going whoosh in the sky, including President Obama.
