Former US Senate majority leader Harry Reid may be retired from Congress, but he still has ideas on how lawmakers should study unidentified flying objects, or UFOs.
A report detailing US military encounters with UFOs requested by the Senate intelligence committee is due to be released in June, (although it may be delayed). However, the findings should not be seen as the end of the current investigations into UFOs or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), he said.
âCongress should make this an ongoing program. I donât think the report is going to tell us too much. I think they need to study it more and not just have one shot at it,â Reid told the Guardian.
The sightings also known as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, or UAPs, in official parlance are having their moment in politics, and a bipartisan one at that.
