There is no shortage of theories regarding UFOs or Unidentified Flying Objects, and it has always been associated with the idea of alien spacecrafts. However, it is no longer just conspiracy theories as two top defense intelligence officials will be testifying in front of a House Intelligence subcommittee about the information that the government currently possesses about UFOs.
This is the first public hearing concerning UFOs in almost 50 years and this comes almost a year after a government report which contained 140 instances of “unidentified aerial phenomena” which were reported by the US military pilots since 2004. However, there is a slight twist to the story.

According to AFP. the report, which was compiled by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and a Navy-led task force the Pentagon formed in 2020, will be examined once again.
