More Commercial Pilots Are Reporting UFO Sightings for Pentagon’s Annual List
A growing number of commercial pilots are contributing sightings of so-called unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP, to the federal government’s annual report that tracks such objects, according to the latest unclassified version released Tuesday.
The report — a collaboration between the Department of Defense and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence — includes UAP sightings from Aug. 31, 2022, to April 30, 2023, as well as any not included in earlier reports.
“Most reports still reflect a bias towards restricted military airspace, a result of reporting from military personnel and sensors present in such areas,” the report states.
“This bias has been lessened by reporting from commercial pilots showing a more diverse geographic distribution of UAP sightings across the United States.”
Most sightings are over U.S. airspace and littoral waters, however, because of “U.S.-centric collection bias,” the report states.
The All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, which leads the Defense Department’s efforts in tracking such sightings, received 291 UAP reports during the reporting period, 17 of which had occurred between 2019 and 2022 but had not been previously reported.
