Three US senators received a secret Pentagon briefing on UFOs and a series of reports on collisions between Navy pilots and unidentified aircraft.
“If naval pilots are faced with unexplained interference in the air, it's a security issue, Senator Warner believes we need to sort it out,” his spokesman Rachel Cohen said in a statement.
Interest in the "unidentified aerial phenomenon" has grown since the end of 2017, when the Pentagon created a program to study the UFO phenomenon.
The Navy played a prominent role in light of the testimony of F / A - 18 pilots and other personnel working with the USS Nimitz battle group in California in 2004 - “the now famous Nimitz incident with the so called 'Tic Tac' and USS Theodore Roosevelt in Atlantic in 2015 and 2016, where strange flying machines appeared in their airspace and were there not for several minutes, but for many hours or even days.
These objects were patrolled at 30,000 feet, 20,000 feet, and even at sea level. They could accelerate, decelerate, and then develop hypersonic speed.
Navy pilot Graves said that one day he almost hit one of these objects, which looked like a translucent sphere enclosed in a cube, as a UFO passed the cockpit of his plane.
The growing interest of Congress was instrumental in the recent decision to update procedures for pilots and other personnel to report such unexplained sightings.
