UFOs flying around warships and being reported by US pilots could be of alien origin, according to Avril Haines, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). She oversees all 16 US (spy) agencies, including the CIA and FBI, and spoke at the “Our Future in Space event” at the Washington National Cathedral. She states, “Always there’s also the question of ‘is there something else that we simply do not understand, which might come extraterrestrially?”
The UAP Task Force report announced by the Pentagon over the summer admitted there had been unexplained encounters between the US military and enigmatic objects – such as the “tictac.”
While the report, which analyzed 144 UAP sightings, did not explicitly spell out a possible alien connection, it did not rule it other either as the mystery continues.
Avril Haines appeared to crack the door open even further for a possible alien link when she spoke alongside NASA chief Bill Nelson and leading expert Professor Avi Loeb.
And she also admitted there remain things about these strange UFO encounters that the intelligence community does not understand. She further highlights the necessity for more investigation.
The DNI acknowledged there need to be better reporting structures so UFOs – now more generally called UAPs or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the intelligence community – can be sufficiently investigated. Haines has now become the most senior person in the intelligence community to hint at an alien link.
US legislators commissioned the Pentagon UAP report after a remarkable string of leaked UFO videos that showed military encounters with objects such as the “Tic Tac.”
This marked an incredible turnaround after the government dismissed the existence of UFOs after Project Blue Book in the late 1960s. The report acknowledges the UAP encounters could be previously unknown aircraft from Russia, China, or even a non-government terror group. But it did not rule out an extraterrestrial, or maybe even extradimensional, origin for these encounters.
