Appearing on Fox News on Friday, former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said that forthcoming reports from the Pentagon regarding the actions of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) are “difficult to explain.”
“There are a lot more sightings than have been made public,” Ratcliffe said during a Friday Fox News appearance, according to the Washington Examiner. “Some of those have been declassified. And when we talk about sightings, we are talking about objects that have seen by Navy or Air Force pilots, or have been picked up by satellite imagery that frankly engage in actions that are difficult to explain. Movements that are hard to replicate that we don’t have the technology for. Or traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom.”

These crafts have been spotted not only by Air Force and Navy pilots, according to the New York Post, but Ratcliffe says they have also “been picked up by satellite imagery.”
A New York Times article published in 2017 kicked off a renewed push for disclosure of UAP sightings and information. The Times article detailed a classified program within the Pentagon that aggregates and categorizes witness testimony delivered by our service members.
