Pentagon Reports Over 200 UFO Sightings in 8 Months, Further Investigation Underway

Despite majority of reports identifying "mundane" objects, around 2-4% remain unexplained, spurring national security concerns about potential foreign espionage.

The Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office received over 200 new UFO sighting reports during eight months spanning Aug. 31, 2022, to April 30, 2023, taking the total to 800.
The majority of reports are from military service members and commercial airline pilots; none of these reported UFOs caused any safety threats or dangerous proximity to aircraft.
While a significant number of these UFO or UAP sightings are identified as mundane objects, such as balloons or drones, around 2-4% remain unexplained and require further investigation.
Concerns of national security have risen due to an understanding that some of these unidentified sightings could potentially be foreign espionage efforts, yet there remains no confirmed sightings tied directly to foreign espionage.
The Pentagon is developing two new reporting portals set to launch in the upcoming months; one for the public and the other for government employees or contractors, potentially leading to a significant increase in sighting reports.
