US officials released a UFO video recorded by UAV MQ-9 in the Middle East, one of more than 650 unusual aerial phenomena they detected.
During a hearing before a subcommittee of the US Senate Armed Services Committee on April 19, director of the Pentagon’s All-Region Irregularities Office (AARO) Sean Kirkpatrick said the country’s military discovered more than 650 unidentified aerial phenomena and “priority review of approximately half of these”.
The AARO director also released a video recorded by an MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in the Middle East last year, showing a small spherical unidentified flying object (UFO) flying very quickly over the rocks. low-rise house. The MQ-9 Reaper’s camera is continuously adjusted to follow this object’s flight path.
AARO has not identified the object because there is no evidence other than the video. Mr. Kirkpatrick expressed hope that more data can be collected to explain the above phenomenon.
Another video shot in South Asia earlier this year showed a dark streak flying past the US MQ-9 UAV in the air. Mr. Kirkpatrick said experts initially assessed this video as “truly unusual”.
After dissecting each frame, experts determined that this was “a heat signal emitted from an aircraft moving near the area where two MQ-9 UAVs were operating”.
“We have not found any reliable evidence of alien life or technology, or the ability of these objects to break the known laws of physics,” Mr. Kirkpatrick commented on the published videos. .
After senators asked about the possibility that the unidentified aerial phenomena were related to advanced foreign technology, Mr. Kirkpatrick said some videos could be evidence of this and the US intelligence community Will investigate them further.
The US re-established AARO in July 2022 in a joint effort by the Pentagon and other federal agencies to detect, identify and classify “unidentified, anomalous objects in space, in the air, and under the sky”. water”.
