Mark Warner (D-VA) said. \u201cSince then, the frequency of these incidents only appears to be increasing. The United States must be able to understand and mitigate threats to our pilots, whether they\u2019re from drones or weather balloons, or adversary intelligence capabilities. Today\u2019s rather inconclusive report only marks the beginning of efforts to understand and illuminate what is causing these risks to aviation in many areas around the country and the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), the ranking member of the intelligence committee cheered the report as an \u201cimportant step.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cFor years, the men and women we trust to defend our country reported encounters with unidentified aircraft that had superior capabilities, and for years their concerns were often ignored and ridiculed,\u201d Sen. Rubio said. \u201cThis report is an important first step in cataloging these incidents, but it is just a first step. The Defense Department and Intelligence Community have a lot of work to do before we can actually understand whether these aerial threats present a serious national security concern.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, released a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/intelligence.house.gov\/news\/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1146\"><span>statement<\/span><\/a><span> following the report\u2019s release.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c<\/span><span>Through the <\/span><i><span>Intelligence Authorization Act<\/span><\/i><span>, the Congress and the Intelligence Committee required the preparation and release of today\u2019s report, as it has become increasingly clear that unidentified aerial phenomena are not a rare occurrence and our government needs a unified way to gather, analyze, and contextualize these reports,\u201d Schiff said. \u201cWe should approach these questions without preconceptions to encourage a thorough, systematized analysis of the potential national security and flight safety risks posed by unidentified aerial phenomena, whether they are the result of a foreign adversary, atmospheric or other aerial phenomena, space debris, or something else entirely.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe look forward to reviewing the report and will host a classified briefing for the Members of the House Intelligence Committee later this year based on its findings and to build on the Member briefing held last week. As we continue to receive updates, we will share what we can with the American people as excessive secrecy will only spur more speculation,\u201d he concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Mike Cernovich argued that this release was a distraction, tweeting, \u201cAfter lying to us for 18 months, the government comes out with this UFO stuff. Don\u2019t play into that narrative. If you want to meet aliens, that\u2019s simple enough. They are found in plants.
