The Pentagon Finally Admits It Investigates UFOs

(New York Post) Steven Greenstreet May 22 2019 8:49am The Pentagon has finally uttered the words it always avoided when discussing the possible existence of UFOs unidentified aerial phenomena" and admits that it still investigates reports of them. In a statement provided exclusively to The Post a Department of Defense spokesman said a secret government initiative called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program did pursue research and investigation into unidentified aerial phenomena." And while the DOD says it shut down the AATIP in 2012 spokesman Christopher Sherwood acknowledged that the department still investigates claimed sightings of alien spacecraft. The Department of Defense is always concerned about maintaining positive identification of all aircraft in our operating environment as well as identifying any foreign capability that may be a threat to the homeland" Sherwood said. The department will continue to investigate through normal procedures reports of unidentified aircraft encountered by US military aviators in order to ensure defense of the homeland and protection against strategic surprise by our nations adversaries." Nick Pope who secretly investigated UFOs for the British government during the 1990s called the DODs comments a bombshell revelation." Pope a former UK defense official-turned-author said Previous official statements were ambiguous and left the door open to the possibility that AATIP was simply concerned with next-generation aviation threats from aircraft missiles and drones as skeptics claimed. This new admission makes it clear that they really did study what the public would call UFOs " he said.
