New Pentagon memo reveals almost 300 reports of potential UFO encounters since August 2022

Is The Truth Really Out There? The report, quietly released by the Pentagon on Tuesday, provides more information on UFO characteristics and sighting information, but little on origin or mechanics.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Defense publicly released the 2023 report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP)—colloquially known as UFOs—which revealed that there have been almost 300 reports of potential UAP observed, with some cases of UAP exhibiting “high-speed travel or unusual maneuverability.”

The report, titled “Fiscal Year 2023 Consolidated Annual Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena” was released by the Department of Defense for open publication along with charts detailing trends in UAP reporting which included the typically-reported characteristics of the objects as well as a heat map their locations.

You can read the unclassified report below:

File FY23_Consolidated_Annual_Report_on_UAP-Oct_2023.pdf

The reports of unidentified objects were collected by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), an office established in July 2022 to “minimize technical and intelligence surprise” that unidentified aerial phenomena could pose and which is headed by Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick. According to the report, the AARO received a total of 291 UAP reports since the fiscal year began in August 2022.

The document noted that many of the UAP reports have occurred in the United States. “Most reports still reflect a bias towards restricted military airspace, as a result of reporting from military personnel and sensors present in such areas,” the executive summary reads. “This bias has been lessened by reporting from commercial pilots showing a more diverse geographic distribution of UAP sightings across the United States,” it continues.

Most if not all ufo sightings can probably be attributred to operations of our black-op/secret manned space program

So....the Pentagon would have us believe that there’s been more than one UFO sighting per day over the past year? I call BS. Their agenda must be to distract away from something else. Just wondering what that might be.

Even the Martians have started to roll their eye when UFO talk starts all over again.

They could mean Unidentified Floating Objects.
Ask any Mermaid you happen to see.

Is the truth really out there?

No, it’s right here. Ready?

Do aliens exist? Somewhere in the vastness of the universe, almost certainly.

Have aliens visited Earth? Almost certainly not. Like, far lower than the odds of you hitting the Powerball three or four times in a row.

Are there UFO’s? Of course. There are plenty of unidentified flying objects, but that doesn’t mean they’re alien ships.

If you happen to be interested enough to find out what is behind these Unidentified Flying Object or UFO’s for short, what is real and what is home made you may want to watch the following interview. It may be a little lengthy however due to the extensive details as well as being a multi faceted subject making it any shorter would not convey any of the essential details.

That sounds about right, which is also depressing.

Since aliens must exist somewhere in the universe, and since the government can't keep a lid on anything much less repeat alien visitations- that must mean the huge distances in space can't be bridged by any technology. That, or we are so utterly irrelevant that any higher order civilization hasn't even bothered to glance at us any more than we'd scrutinize an ant hill on a hike.

Given all the wars breaking out and the potential for WW III, UFOs don’t seem all that important anymore.

“or we are so utterly irrelevant that any higher order civilization hasn't even bothered to glance at us any more than we'd scrutinize an ant hill on a hike.”

Great analogy. Really puts perspective on things.
