Nearly half of all new UFO cases opened in 2022 cannot be explained, Pentagon officials wrote.
The U.S. government has been inundated with hundreds of UFO encounter reports in the past year, and about half of them remain inexplicable, according to an unclassified document released by the Pentagon Thursday .
Of the 366 newly opened cases, 195 have been initially resolved with relatively mundane explanations; according to the report, 26 cases were identified as drones, 163 were classified as"balloons or balloon-like entities," and six were labeled as airborne clutter, such as birds or plastic bags. These findings fit with prior claims from Pentagon officials that most recent UAP reports were likely the results of foreign surveillance drones and clutter.
However, it does state that"no encounters with UAP confirmed to contribute directly to adverse health-related effects to the observer" — contrary to a litany of questionable UAP reports released in 2022 claiming that some civilians suffered radiation burns, brain damage or"unaccounted for pregnancy" as a result of UFO encounters.
