Let's be Watch In the Morning of La Petite Mort Onlineclear: "U.F.O." is an acronym for "unidentified flying object." It doesn't necessarily mean aliens.
But it also might mean aliens. Sorry, Miriam.
SEE ALSO: That interstellar asteroid probably isn't aliens, but the hunt continuesA Saturday report in the New York Timeslays out the details of a secret, Defense Department-funded "Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program," formed to investigate UFO reports. Among the more sensational details is the revelation that a number of buildings in Las Vegas were modified to house "metal alloys and other materials ... from unidentified aerial phenomena."
It's a seemingly minor detail in a much larger story about a program that was established in 2007 under the guidance of then-Senate majority leader Harry Reid. The Nevada Democrat turned an interest in space phenomena into a DoD-funded $22 million investigation.
Reid confirmed the existence of the program, as did Pentagon officials, though the latter claim that the program ended in 2012.
"It was determined that there were other, higher priority issues that merited funding, and it was in the best interest of the DoD to make a change," Pentagon spokesperson Thomas Crosson told the Times.
Still, the Pentagon's engagement here is a big surprise: This is one of the few times -- if not the first -- that an arm of the U.S. government confirmed the existence of a modern program designed to look into extraterrestrial events.
The Las Vegas storage location(s) were constructed by Robert Bigelow, a friend of Reid's and a NASA contractor who is currently working with the aerospace and aeronautics research agency on human habitats for outer space. The Timeswrites:
Under Mr. Bigelow’s direction, the company modified buildings in Las Vegas for the storage of metal alloys and other materials that Mr. Elizondo and program contractors said had been recovered from unidentified aerial phenomena. Researchers also studied people who said they had experienced physical effects from encounters with the objects and examined them for any physiological changes. In addition, researchers spoke to military service members who had reported sightings of strange aircraft.
Although the Pentagon confirms that funding for the program came to an end in 2012, former military intelligence official and program administrator Luis Elizondo claims that research efforts continue.
The Timesunearthed a great deal more information about this program and its beginnings, supporters, and operations. Definitely give that story a look if you're interested in learning more. (This is about UFOs, folks: Are any of you notinterested in learning more?)
