For decades, thousands of people all over the world have reported seeing strange lights in the sky, dubbed “flying saucers” by Kenneth Arnold, who is associated with the first modern unidentified flying object (UFO) sighting in 1947 over Washington State.
These individuals were universally ridiculed by the mainstream media and establishment scientists in recent decades, though newspaper and TV reports were much more common from the 1940s through the 1960s. Celebrity astronomer Carl Sagan used to regularly go on “The Tonight Show” and scoff at UFO witnesses with fellow skeptic Johnny Carson. These witnesses received nothing but scorn for their efforts, often losing their jobs and the support of their families.
A 180-day countdown for the Pentagon and spy agencies to reveal what they know about UFOs has begun. It comes after US President Donald Trump signed a $2.3 trillion ($A4.14tn) COVID-19 relief and government funding bill on Sunday, reported Thanks to an act included in the bill, federal agencies must publish a report in the next six months. The provision wasn t included in the text of the 5593-page legislation, but as a committee comment attached to the annual intelligence authorisation act.

Why?
Back in June, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, chairperson of the Senate Intelligence Committee, included a “committee comment” to the Intelligence Authorization Act in the budget that “directs the [director of national intelligence], in consultation with the Secretary of Defense and the heads of such other agencies … to submit a report within 180 days of the date of enactment of the Act, to the congressional intelligence and armed services committees on unidentified aerial phenomena.” Because that “committee comment” w

In January, the U.S. Navy said the release of certain classified briefings and a classified video about a UFO incident held by the Department of Defense would cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security to the U.S., in response to a public records request from Vice.
A couple of weeks later, the U.K. announced that reported UFO sightings by the British public will be published online for the first time. The Royal Air Force ran a UFO unit for 50 years but shut it down in 2009 after coming to the conclusion that none of the reports offered evidence of a real threat.
