During a Senate hearing on Wednesday, the Pentagon released a recently declassified video capturing a UFO flying over the Middle East. The video, taken by a US military drone, shows a mysterious spherical object moving at high speed across the sky above an active military zone. Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, the director of the Pentagon’s new All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), presented the video to the Senate Committee on Armed Services, revealing that officials are unsure of what the fast-moving orb is.
Dr Sean Kirkpatrick, the director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that hundreds of sightings of unidentified flying items remained under review.
He said: "I should also state clearly for the record that in our research AARO has found no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, offworld technology or objects that defy the known laws of physics."
Dr Kirkpatrick's office is currently looking at 650 cases, but has stressed that priority is placed on items spotted by pilots flying at a high altitude.
One video shown to the panel was filmed by a MQ9 Reaper drone in the Middle East, which picked up what looks like a metal orb.
Although he cautioned that it was 'virtually impossible' to identify the object based solely off the video, Dr Kirkpatrick said his agency was still investigating the matter.
The release of this video has further fueled interest in UFOs and extraterrestrial life. While reports of unexplained aerial phenomena have existed for decades, the lack of official recognition has often led to skepticism and dismissal. However, with government agencies such as the Pentagon now acknowledging and investigating such reports, speculation and interest in the possibility of otherworldly beings has only grown.
