Pentagon Admits To Creating Secret Program To Investigate UFOs

The Pentagon has admitted to establishing a $22 million dollar program to studying unidentified flying objects, otherwise known as UFOs.
According to a report from Politico, Congress, specifically then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, instructed the Pentagon in 2007 to create a program called the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program.
The purpose of this program, which also had the support of Democratic Sen. Daniel Inouye and Republican Sen. Ted Stevens, was to study reports of UFOs often coming from military pilots. In initial discussions about the program, Stevens himself stated that during his time in the Air Force, he had been followed by a strange aircraft. A former congressional staffer told Politico that one possible reason for interest in the program is the possibility that the Russians or Chinese are behind strange aerial objects that seem to defy the laws of physics with superior flight technology.
The Pentagon has not acknowledged the program’s existence until now, but funding for the program ended in 2012. Nevertheless, there are still some officials with the program who continue to investigate UFO reports, while still maintaining their main duties elsewhere in the department.
Although the program ended in 2012, it has recently come into the spotlight again because of the October resignation of military intelligence official Luis Elizondo, who ran the initiative. In his resignation letter to Secretary of Defense James Mattis, Elizondo complained that the Pentagon wasn’t taking the initiative’s findings seriously. Elizondo said that although he was leaving, there was already a successor at the department to continue the program.

So it is a fact that the government DID LIE to the American people because they have said since 1969 that they weren't studying UFOs.

Any flying object unidentifiable is a UFO. So another country's new technologically advanced cloaked flying craft needs to be investigated and studied.

They had a program called Project Blue Book in the 50s to study UFOs so this isn't new for them.

They lose me at studying UFOs, which are connected to aliens, and then releasing a report with oh it’s just identifying different flying objects from Russia and China which sounds a lot like.....

Your Occam's Razor is very dull.

You know "UFO" doesn't mean "alien", right?

A dept in the federal government that ran for 6 years on only $22M?!
Maybe they should form a department to study how that department was so efficient with their budget.

Plot twist: They didn't do anything.

That was just a way to pass 22 million on to their friends

The Pentagon wouldn't be now "admitting" that they have been studying UFOs if they had already told the public that they were studying UFOs.

$22 million at the Pentagon gets you a basement closet and a filing cabinet.
