The Pentagon says a UFO almost crashed into a commercial plane over New York – bomb report reveals

The Pentagon has released a new report on UFOs that revealed hundreds of documented incidents of unidentified and unexplained aerial phenomena (UAPs).

While there is no evidence that these UAPs – the government’s term for UFOs – are of extraterrestrial origin, some defy the explanation, including a near miss between a commercial airliner and a mysterious object off the coast of New York.

The report comes at a time when public interest in UAPs has surged, prompting the US government to provide answers about these strange objects.

It was published a day after MPs called for greater government transparency at a hearing on UAPs.

The Pentagon study detailed 757 cases of UAP encounters reported to US authorities primarily between May 1, 2023 and June 1, 2024. That total includes 272 incidents that occurred before that period but were not previously reported.

Reporting witnesses included commercial and military pilots as well as ground observers.

The majority of these incidents occurred in airspace, but 49 occurred at altitudes estimated to be at least 60 miles (100 kilometers) above the Earth’s surface, which is considered outer space.

No injuries or accidents were reported in any of the incidents. But a commercial flight crew reported a near miss with a “cylindrical object” while flying over the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of New York. That incident is still under investigation.

In three other cases, military aircrews reported being followed or shadowed by unidentified aircraft, but investigators found no evidence linking the activity to a foreign power.

During the reporting period, 81 reports originated from US military operating areas.

Witnesses who gave visual descriptions reported unidentified lights or round, spherical, or spherical objects.

Other reports include a witness reporting a ‘jellyfish’ UAP with flashing lights.

The report states that trends in UAP morphologies remain consistent with historical patterns.

“Unidentified lights and round/spherical/spherical objects made up the majority of cases where reports showed clear visual features,” it said.

‘Objects in the ‘other’ category contain unique descriptions such as ‘green fireball’, ‘a jellyfish with [multicolored] flashing lights’ and a ‘silver rocket about two meters long.’

Researchers were able to explain nearly 300 of the incidents, and in many cases the unknown objects were identified as balloons, birds, planes, drones or satellites.

The report stated that Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite system is an increasingly common source of UAP reports as people mistake chains of satellites for UFOs.

But hundreds of other cases remain unexplained.

The authors of the report say that this is often because there is not enough information to draw firm conclusions.

“It is important to underline that AARO has thus far found no evidence of aliens, activity or technology,” they wrote.

During Wednesday’s hearing, lawmakers heard testimony from several expert witnesses who have studied the phenomenon, including two former military officers.

The discussion included questions about alien intelligence and military research using alien technology, as well as concerns that foreign powers could use secret aircraft to spy on U.S. military installations.

Nancy Mace (RS.C.), chairwoman of Government Cybersecurity and Innovation, took a philosophical or metaphysical direction in her final question: “How would you define non-human intelligence and non-human biologics? What are we even talking about.’

House Oversight Panelist Mike Gold, a NASA legal and policy specialist who now works in the private aerospace sector, was the last to give his response, arguing that we should reexamine the idea with modest assumptions, but noting that a advanced visiting intelligence may not actually be biological.

When Gold was asked what “non-biological intelligence” means, he replied, “Artificial intelligence, ML, machines.”

The public’s interest in this topic was evident in the large number of private citizens who attended the hearing, DailyMail.com’s Matthew Phelan reported live from the event.

Lawmakers said the many questions about UAPs show the government should closely study the issue and share their findings with the American public.

“There’s something out there,” said Republican Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee. “The question is: is it ours, someone else’s, or is it alien?”
