Leaked US Navy videos spark renewed interest in UFOs

May 21, 2021 - Decades after the infamous Roswell incident captivated Americans, recently released US Navy videos of Unidentifi­ed Flying Objects ( UFOs) that defy explanatio­n have led to legitimate inquiries from government.

US intelligen­ce agencies have been called to deliver a report on Unidentifi­ed Aerial Phenomena ( UAP) – the new, unprejudic­ed term for UFOs – to Congress in June.

The report will allegedly make public what the pentagon knows about UAP, renewing interest in the mysterious objects which have grown into a modern myth in American society.

The debate about UAP has become a hot topic in recent years following multiple leaked photograph­s and video recordings from the US Navy showing UAP craft operating at high speed over American airspace, often with no visible propulsion and manoeuvrin­g in ways that baffle aeronautic­s expert.

A recently leaked navy video, captured in July 2019, shows a sphere- shaped unidentifi­ed object flying over water near San Diego before apparently disappeari­ng into the ocean.

The Pentagon is interested in UFOs because they could pose a threat to US national security. In a recent televised interview, Lt. Ryan Graves, a former Navy pilot, said that pilots on training flights have been seeing unexplaine­d phenomena “every day for at least a couple years.”

Whether UAP is the result of advanced foreign technology or from a more otherworld­ly source, government officials are now demanding to know more about them.
