Unpacking X-Files: Pentagon Watchdog Set to Probe DoD's Handling of UFOs Sputnik International https://sputniknews.com/us/202105051082803701-unpacking-x-files-pentagon-watchdog-set-to-probe-dods-handling-of-ufos/ Last year, the Pentagon launched a special task force "to detect, analyse, and catalogue" Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) that "could potentially pose a threat to US national security". The Pentagon's Office of the Inspector General (IG) has launched a formal evaluation into the US Department of Defence (DoD)'s actions related to UFOs, also referred to as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) or Anomalous Aerial Vehicles (AAVs). In a memorandum released on Monday, Randolph Stone, assistant inspector general for Evaluations on Space, Intelligence, Engineering and Oversight, said that the evaluation is due to kick off in May 2021 and that the goal is "to determine the extent to which the DoD has taken actions regarding" UAPs.
