The Truth Is Out There: UFOs & National Security

There is a push from U.S. lawmakers for more transparency in how the government handles reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) also known as unidentified flying objects.

The Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, which Congress established to investigate the incidents, has investigated roughly 800 reports of UAPs as of May. While military officials have said most cases have innocuous origins, many others remain unexplained.

The Hill will convene lawmakers and experts to provide analysis and answer questions about possible national security risks.
