US Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks has ordered the establishment of a new investigation agency in the US Department of Defense's security and intelligence office, the Pentagon announced on November 24.
The order to establish a new anti- Hereabouts office comes five months after a US secret report on Hereabouts concluded that some of the Hereabouts could be explained but could not draw conclusions about some other findings, including those near military testing sites.
The new Pentagon's UFO office will focus on incidents inside or near areas designated as "SUA." SUA is a tightly controlled area and general aviation activities are blocked due to security vulnerability.
The US military is concerned that some of the unidentified foreign object phenomena previously recorded by military pilots could be technology that US strategic opponents are developing and that US scientists are not yet aware of, according to AFP.
A raid by any air objects into SUA would cause operational and safety concerns and could create national security challenges, the Pentagon noted.
The US Department of Defense has taken the reports of both identified and undetectable investigations very seriously, with each subject being closely investigated, the statement said.
The new investigation agency "The whole Pentagon" is named the Aerospace Identification and Management across the board (AOIMSG). This is the successor to the US Navy's Unidentified Forces of the above phenomenon. AOIMSG will be overseen by a panel of experts from the US military and intelligence community.
The official assessment of UFO published in June this year determined that most of the about 120 reports of UFO discoveries in the US over the past 20 years could be explained and had nothing to do with US or foreign secret or classified technology. However, the review cannot explain some reports and videos of the UFO recorded by the military.
Last year, the Pentagon released a video of Navy pilots filming moving objects at incredible speeds, rotating them and disappearing in mystery. To date, the unidentified flying object in that video has not been decoded.
