PENTAGON RELEASES ANNUAL UFO REPORT米 UFOの誤認報告増える

The Pentagon has published its annual update on unidentified flying objects, widely known as UFOs. The report found many cases could be traced not to aliens but to origins closer to home. The U.S. Department of Defense released the document on Thursday. It says it received 757 reports of what it calls “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” or UAP, in the 13 months through June 1. They came mainly from the United States, the Middle East, and East Asia. About 300 were found to be objects such as balloons, birds, or unmanned aerial systems. The department notes a rise in cases in which SpaceX Starlink satellites were mistakenly reported as UAP. But the document reveals nothing new about possible alien life.

(Sabrina Singh / U.S. Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary) “The department has discovered no verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activity or technology.”

The department says it'll continue analyzing the unresolved cases.
