Since the 1940s, unidentified flying objects have been a part of our nation's cultural phenomena. But for the U.S. government, UFOs have been a mystery and something the military has been investigating for decades. Amna Nawaz discussed that with Garrett Graff, author of the new book, "UFO: The Inside Story of the US...
Humans have been spotting - and remarking on - mysterious forms in the sky since the beginning of recorded history, but author Garrett Graff traces the "modern age of UFOs" to a flurry of sightings that occurred around the U.S. following World War II - and to a particular incident that happened in Roswell, N.M.
It came from space, hurtling at tremendous speed: a mystery object, reddish, rocky, shaped like a cigar. Its velocity was so extreme it had to have come from somewhere far away, in the interstellar realm.

Early in Ronald Reagan's second term, he asked his Soviet counterpart a seemingly off-the-wall question. Ostensibly, he and Mikhail Gorbachev had come to Lake Geneva for an arms control summit. But on a private walk around the lake, Reagan turned to his Cold War enemy and said: 'What would you do if the United States...
There aren't many secrets that John Brennan doesn't know. He spent 25 years in the CIA, became the White House homeland-security adviser, and then returned to the CIA as its director. If a question interested him, he could've commanded legions of analysts, officers, surveillance networks, and tools to find the answer.
The U.S. government has studied UFOs on and off now for 80 years, dating back to the dawn of the "flying saucer" age in 1947, when an Idaho businessman flying near Mount Rainer reported seeing bright saucer-like objects moving through the skies at tremendous speeds. It was hardly the first time humans spotted strange...
Sean Kirkpatrick is not done talking about UFOs.

The people who report UFOs or UAPs are probably different than you think. Studies of those who report seeing UFOs show little evidence of psychopathology or attention seeking. Rather, UFO reporters tend to have richer fantasy lives than average.
All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office is reportedly considering a version of the tool that allows for civilians to report their sightings
American writer and documentarian Brian Dunning said UFO "believers" are driven by media attention and sensationalism instead of science in an interview with Fox News Digital. "It's really quite astonishing how easy it's been for the UFO people to sort of steer the public's belief in this subject," Dunning said
Last week, a former senior Defense Intelligence Agency scientist became the 10th ex-government official, military officer or scientist to allege (or suggest) publicly that the U.S. government has recovered at least one UFO.

Flying saucers, little green men, and the X-Files - for years, that's what most people associated with unidentified flying objects, or UFOs. They were the stuff of sci-fi and supermarket tabloids, conspiracy theories and punchlines.

The US government is receiving dozens of reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena, more commonly known as UFOs, each month, according to the director of the office established to investigate the incidents, with the potential for "hundreds, if not thousands" more reports expected in the near future.
Unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, have captured the imagination of Americans for decades. But much of the conversation has been confined to science fiction movies and novels. In the absence of government commentary on the topic, conspiracy theories have run rampant.
Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., and other lawmakers will soon gain access to the classified SCIF room, where they will be able to look at UAP documents.
