Ex-Pentagon UFO expert says 'stigma and taboo' may have led to underreporting of sightings
Fox News
A highly-anticipated Department of Defense report on UFO sightings by the U.S. military answered a few questions but left some unanswered according to the Pentagon's former UFO task force chief on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
"This is a historic moment for us in our country and our military, our intelligence community, has, and informed Congress that these things are real and that they are not ours and they seem to be performing at least some of them in remarkable ways," Elizondo said. "When you look at this report very carefully, the reporting only began around the March 2019 time era when the Navy established its reporting requirements and then later on in November of 2020; 8 months ago; at the air force so we have 144 reports really concentrating in just the last year and a half involving only military equities and the report further stipulates that a large majority of reporting goes unreported." Elizondo said that the "stigma" and "taboo" nature of extraterrestrial claims have undoubtedly prevented military members from reporting such things.More Related News
