For the last decade, reports of UFO sightings have filled headlines
and news broadcasts, and some of these have from a surprising
place—the Pentagon. Former defense officials have made a number of
claims about, and released videos of, strange sightings made by
military pilots. These days, the objects are officially called
“UAPs”—unidentified anomalous phenomena. But regardless of the new
branding, Congress has demanded answers on them, especially after
one former official this summer claimed that he believed that the
U.S. possessed “nonhuman” spacecraft and possibly their “dead
pilots.” We talk to the former intelligence official and physicist,
Sean Kirkpatrick, who until December headed the All-domain
Anomaly Resolution Office, the Pentagon office that Congress told
to find some answers to all this. He recently published an op-ed in
Scientific American called "Here's What I Learned as the
U.S. Government's UFO Hunter". Learn more about your ad choices.
