At a Tuesday congressional hearing, Pentagon officials tasked with studying sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) revealed they’ve documented about 400 different sightings. Many of the sightings continue to baffle researchers, including in one instance where a spherical object was caught on video.
During the hearing, Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray showcased three different sightings of UFOs — or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) as the U.S. military refers to them. In two of the videos, taken of a triangular flying object under similar circumstances, military researchers determined that they were simply seeing human-made unmanned aerial systems through a single-lens reflex night-vision camera. In the other video, however, military UFO researchers aren’t sure what to make of the spherical object they saw flying through the air in broad daylight.
