/ The Pentagon’s internal oversight bodies decided that the United States does not have the capabilities necessary to defend the country against what it described as any “hypothetical foreign invasion,” according to what the British newspaper “Daily Mail” reported.
A newly declassified document found that the Pentagon lacks a comprehensive or coordinated effort to track and analyze UFOs, which have been renamed “unidentified anomalous phenomena” in recent years.
The Inspector General’s Office reached the strange conclusion that this blind spot in America’s defense capabilities “poses a threat to the military forces and national security.”
To address the issues identified in this report, the Office of Inspector General made 11 recommendations to avoid the risk.
“The Department of Defense has not issued a comprehensive UFO response plan that defines roles, responsibilities, requirements, and coordination procedures for detecting, reporting, collecting, analyzing, and identifying incidents,” the OIG concluded.
Inspector General Robert B. Storch announced the declassification of the report Thursday, noting that it was released because of “significant public interest in how the Department of Defense handles UFOs.”
“We are issuing 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 “unidentified flying objects” was replaced with the phrase “unidentified anomalous phenomena”, with the aim of removing the stigma from this topic, which is widely associated with speculation about aliens visiting our planet.
NASA defines these phenomena as “observing events in the sky that cannot be scientifically identified as an aircraft or a known natural phenomenon.”
