Ahead of the Pentagon’s unclassified report to Congress regarding unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), 60 Minutes ran a segment detailing just how often the military encounters what are more commonly known as UFOs.
From the Daily Wire:
The segment comes ahead of a report that the military is supposed to deliver an unclassified report to Congress by next month. Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said in a recent interview that the findings will shock people because “frankly, there are a lot more sightings than have been made public.”
There were some newsworthy quotes from the segment:
- Lue Elizondo, former U.S. Military official that led the U.S. government’s effort to investigate UAP: “Imagine a technology that can do 600-to-700 g-forces, that can fly at 13,000 miles an hour, that can evade radar and that can fly through air and water and possibly space. And oh, by the way, has no obvious signs of propulsion, no wings, no control surfaces and yet still can defy the natural effects of Earth’s gravity. That’s precisely what we’re seeing.
- Ryan Graves, former Navy pilot Lieutenant, on how often the U.S. Military encounters UAPs on the East Coast: “Every day. Every day for at least a couple years.”
Other mysterious aircraft covered include technology that can 60,000-80,000 feet of altitude and drop down to 20,000 feet in a straight vertical line in the blink of an eye, which experts say is beyond the capability of what the American military could currently build.
The segment also covered the mysterious 2004 incident in which two Navy pilots with the USS Nimitz carrier strike group were conducting a training flight when they encountered an unknown aircraft that they claimed descended from 80,000 feet in just seconds. The pilots also claim that when they moved in to get a closer look at the mysterious craft it disappeared from view due to its ability to accelerate so quickly.
