Pentagon sets up new taskforce to investigate UFO sightings

The United States Department of Defense has announced that it is forming a new group to look into UFOs.

The new taskforce will look at reports of Unexplained Aerial Phenomena (UAP) near US military facilities.

It’s after a report earlier this year found that there was a lack of sufficient data to determine the nature of mysterious flying objects over the last two decades.

The taskforce, called the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group, will look at reports of Unexplained Aerial Phenomena (UAP) near US military facilities. UAP is the military term for a UFO.

Leading the group will be the under secretary of defense for intelligence, the director of the joint staff and officials from the office of the director of national intelligence.
