When former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) John Ratcliffe was asked about an increased number of UFO sightings during an interview with Fox & Friends on Sunday, he emphasized how significant such phenomena are to national defense.
The recently released Office of the DNI Annual Report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (pdf) reported a record increase in Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings (UAPs). “UAP events continue to occur in restricted or sensitive airspace, highlighting possible concerns for safety of flight or adversary collection activity,” the report stated.
