The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dni.gov\/files\/ODNI\/documents\/assessments\/Prelimary-Assessment-UAP-20210625.pdf\">report<\/a> said that 18 out of 144 reported incidents showed UAP that potentially demonstrated advanced technology, and that out of those incidents, U.S. military aircraft systems detected radio frequency or a degree of signature management, meaning efforts to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.socom.mil\/SOF-ATL\/SOFHardProblemsDocumentLibrary\/USSOCOM%20ST%20Signature%20Management%20-%20SIGMAN%20MegaTalker-01Mar18.pdf\">avoid<\/a> detection.<\/p>\n<p>The report cautioned that data collected could be inaccurate due to \u201csensor errors, spoofing, or observer misperception.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Director of National Intelligence said that the UAP observed by the U.S. government fall into one of five categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Airborne Clutter<\/strong>: These objects include birds, balloons, recreational unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), or airborne debris like plastic bags that muddle a scene and affect an operator\u2019s ability to identify true targets, such as enemy aircraft.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Natural Atmospheric Phenomena<\/strong>: Natural atmospheric phenomena includes ice crystals, moisture, and thermal fluctuations that may register on some infrared and radar systems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>USG or Industry Developmental Programs<\/strong>: Some UAP observations could be attributable to developments and classified programs by U.S. entities. We were unable to confirm, however, that these systems accounted for any of the UAP reports we collected.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Foreign Adversary Systems<\/strong>: Some UAP may be technologies deployed by China, Russia, another nation, or a non-governmental entity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other<\/strong>: Although most of the UAP described in our dataset probably remain unidentified due to limited data or challenges to collection processing or analysis, we may require additional scientific knowledge to successfully collect on, analyze and characterize some of them. We would group such objects in this category pending scientific advances that allowed us to better understand them. The UAPTF intends to focus additional analysis on the small number of cases where a UAP appeared to display unusual flight characteristics or signature management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The report, which is the unclassified version released to the public, said that UAP could pose a serious risk to U.S. national security if it is a foreign adversary that possesses a \u201cbreakthrough or disruptive technology.\u201d The report found no evidence of any kind of alien life.<\/p>\n<p>Famed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, during an interview with podcast host Joe Rogan earlier this month, pushed back on those who were going around promoting the notion that UAP identified by the U.S. Military were little green men from outer space, <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/news\/joe-rogan\/neil-degrasse-tyson-ufos\/\">noting<\/a> the lack of evidence in today\u2019s high tech world. Tyson said that if the UAP were extraterrestrial life from outer space, people would be pulling out their smart phones and would instantly start live-streaming footage of the objects, which would go viral on social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m thinking, if we were being visited, somebody would have some good footage,\u201d Tyson said. \u201cIf we were being visited, I\u2019m thinking maybe Google satellite images would catch spaceships that are not airplanes moving on our surface. If we were being visited, I\u2019m thinking we\u2019d have something better than fuzzy, monochromatic video of objects that apparently only reveal themselves to Navy pilots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Rogan pushed back by saying that there is a lack of evidence because these sightings are far out at sea, Tyson responded, \u201cIf you are sure we are being visited by aliens and you don\u2019t actually have really good evidence, then you have to say that, sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to say, this is really happening and they\u2019re observing us and they\u2019re concealing themselves in this particular way. That\u2019s your way to maintain your alien belief system by saying that,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t have a problem with it. Go get them. But all of what has been put forward as evidence for aliens, to me is insufficient evidence to excite my research interest in devoting time to finding it out. \u2026 I am not saying defund the military program on UAPs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>U.S. officials <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-findings-from-bombshell-u-s-report-on-ufos-released-raise-new-serious-questions\">told<\/a> The New York Times earlier this month that they are concerned that Russia and China could be experimenting with hypersonic technology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRussia has been investing heavily in hypersonics, believing the technology offers the ability to evade American missile-defense technology. China has also developed hypersonic weaponry, and included it in military parades,\u201d the report said. \u201cIf the phenomenon were Chinese or Russian aircraft, officials said it would suggest the two powers\u2019 hypersonic research has far outpaced American military development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe told Fox News earlier this year that the Biden administration was in for a bit of a shock when they viewed intelligence reports on \u201chow quickly China has closed the gap.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe things that they are doing, where they\u2019re spending money, and you can\u2019t help but be concerned about China\u2019s ability to challenge us, as I said, in certain places,\u201d Ratcliffe said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to talk about those in detail because it poses a national security threat to acknowledge that, but there are places where China\u2019s, frankly, doing a better job, and it\u2019s further down the curve on some technology issues than we are, and \u2026 that\u2019s never been the case before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
