The Pentagon continues to study UFOs in the secret programs and conducts hearings to ascertain the origin of anomalous atmospheric phenomena. According to an article published by the New York Times, some invited by the U.S. Department of defense experts believe that the mysterious objects are of extraterrestrial origin.
In 2017 became aware of the existence of government programs AATIP (Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program) for the study of UFOs, whose budget has reached us $ 22 million. Its main objective was to find out whether the anomalous atmospheric phenomena a threat to the United States. Although it was completed in 2012, the specialists who took part in it, said that the program is still in effect that was subsequently confirmed by the Ministry of defence.
According to the previous program Director Luis Elizondo (Luis Elizondo), who resigned in October 2017, were collected a new group of specialists, and the program will become more transparent to the public. Some scientists and officials, consisting of AATIP, including Senator Democrat Harry Reid (Harry Reid) and astrophysicist Eric W. Davis (Eric W. Davis), argue that managed to find the wreckage of the crashed aircraft of unknown origin and study them. In some cases, the source materials could not be established that, in the opinion of experts in AATIP, indicates their extraterrestrial nature.
However, until now no evidence was presented, and the artifacts supposedly found at the scene of a UFO crash, did not pass independent examination. Skeptics and most scientists, including astrophysics, argue that the lack of a plausible explanation is not an argument in favor of the extraterrestrial origin of UFOs. It is known that in some cases particularly strange incidents with UFOs eventually received an explanation.
