/ The Pentagon’s internal oversight bodies decided that the United States does not have the capabilities to defend the country against what it described as any “hypothetical foreign invasion,” according to the British newspaper, Daily Mail.
A newly declassified document found that the US Department of Defense lacks a comprehensive or coordinated effort to track and analyze UFOs, which have been renamed “unidentified anomalous phenomena” in recent years.
The OIG came to the bizarre conclusion that this blind spot in U.S. defense capabilities “poses a threat to the military and national security.”
To address the issues identified in this report, the OIG made 11 recommendations to mitigate the risk.
The OIG concluded that “the Department of Defense has not issued a comprehensive UFO response plan that outlines roles, responsibilities, requirements, and coordination procedures for detecting, reporting, collecting, analyzing, and identifying incidents.”
Inspector General Robert B. Storch announced the declassification of the report on Thursday, noting that it was released because of “significant public interest in how the Department of Defense handles UFOs.”
“We are releasing this unclassified summary to be as transparent as possible with the American people about our oversight work on this important issue,” Storch said in a statement.
The term “UFOs” was replaced with “unidentified anomalous phenomena”, in an attempt to remove the stigma from a subject widely associated with speculation about alien visits to our planet.
NASA defines these phenomena as “observing events in the sky that cannot be scientifically identified as aircraft or a known natural phenomenon.”
