Few answers in unclassified UFO report

An unclassified UFO report released Friday cannot explain many of the U.S. military's encounters with Unexplained Aerial Phenomena.

A highly anticipated report on UFOs, prepared by the U.S. intelligence community and delivered to Congress on Friday, does not provide definitive explanations for 143 encounters the U.S. military reported with unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs. An unclassified version of the report, released on the Office of the Director of National Intelligence website, does not contain the words “alien” or “extraterrestrial” and says further study or "pending scientific advances" may be needed to help explain what are known as unexplained aerial phenomena or UAP’s that fall into a vague category the report lists as "other." But a U.S. government official did not rule out the possibility that future data may lead to non-Earth-related technologies. "Of the 144 reports we are dealing with here, we have no clear indications that there is any non-terrestrial explanation for them – but we will go wherever the data takes us,” said a U.S. government official.
