A still of one in all three videos released by the Pentagon on Monday, April 27, 2020 showing “unidentified aerial phenomena” captured by U.S. Navy pilots during training flights in 2004 and 2015. “The aerial phenomena observed within the videos remain characterised as ‘unidentified,’ the Pentagon said in an announcement.

WASHINGTON — The highest U.S. spy agency said Thursday 366 recent cases of unidentified aerial phenomena have been reported to U.S. intelligence agencies since March 2021.
The 366 newly added reports join a catalog of 144 cases that were documented over the previous 17 years.
The whole record of bizarre aerial activity now sits at 510.
The Office of Director of National Intelligence wrote in an unclassified 11-page report that multiple agencies found that the flying objects “demonstrated unusual flight characteristics or performance capabilities.”
The classified version of the report, which is required by the National Defense Authorization Act for the fiscal yr 2022, was submitted to Congress.
Nearly all of the reports originated from U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force aviators and operators who witnessed the unidentified aerial phenomena in the course of the course of their service duties.
In 2020, the Pentagon formed a recent task force to analyze UFO sightings which have been observed on several occasions by U.S. military aircraft.
The creation of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, or UAPTF, continues an effort begun lately to analyze unexplained aerial incidents encountered by the U.S. military.
The Navy has previously led efforts to look into unidentified aerial phenomena, because the service branch has reported several encounters involving their aircraft.
‘Have a look at that thing, dude! It’s rotating!’
“Dude, it is a f—ing drone, bro,” one pilot is heard saying. One other says “there’s a complete fleet of them.”
“They’re all going against the wind. The wind’s 120 knots to the west. Have a look at that thing, dude!” the primary person says. “It’s rotating!”
On the time, then-President Donald Trump described the Navy footage as “a hell of a video” and told Reuters that he wonders “if it’s real.”
Two months later, the Senate Intelligence Committee voted that the Pentagon in addition to intelligence community leaders should provide a public evaluation of those encounters.
