Scott Bray, deputy director of naval intelligence, told lawmakers after a UFO sighting is reported, an investigation usually results in one of the following categorizations: airborne clutter, natural atmospheric phenomena, U.S. government or U.S. industry developmental programs, foreign adversary systems, or unexplained sightings that merit further investigation. Pentagon officials said they conduct lengthy investigations on any report due to possible national security implications. https://www.c-span.org/video/?520133-1/hearing-government-investigation-ufos May 17, 2024 TBD Campaign 2024: Democratic Congressional Campaign Cmte.
