The US Department of Defense has published a new report on UFOs (the term was replaced with UAP — «unidentified anomalous phenomena») with intriguing statistics.
For example, from May 2023 to June 2024, 757 new incidents were registered: 708 in the air and 49 — in space. The most common forms of UAPs are lights in the sky (65% of all incidents) and round balls or objects (22%), while disk-shaped phenomena accounted for only 1%.
To be clear, the Pentagon «did not find any evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activities, or technologies». Instead, 49% of the cases were immediately solved because they could be identified as terrestrial objects — 70% of these were balloons, while the rest were drones, birds, aircraft, or satellites (with Starlink by SpaceX is increasingly mentioned in the conclusions, but this is expected given the constant expansion of the constellation).
Another 243 cases out of the total number of «incidents were recommended to be closed» after expert review, while the majority (444) of — «lacked» data to be solved, so they were temporarily archived.
There are — 21 cases left, and these are really interesting observations that deserve in-depth analysis. These are potentially «breakthrough aerospace technologies managed by foreign (terrestrial) groups», and the Ministry of Defense plans to involve intelligence and scientific and technical partners to study them. One of these was recorded by the crew of a commercial flight that nearly collided with a «cylindrical» object off the coast of New York.
