US Department of Defense creates taskforce to research UFOs

 The US department of Defense has formed a replacement body to research what it calls “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAPs) following reported sightings of what most of the people call UFOs.

The move is probably going to spark wide interest in alien hunters worldwide trying to find signs that humanity isn't alone within the universe. Although the dry language of the Pentagon’s announcement of the new group belied its intent as watchers of the sky for potential first contact.
The Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) was created by the deputy defense secretary, David Norquist, on 4 August, strengthening an already existing effort that since 2018 has been under the purview of the Office of Naval Intelligence.

“The Department of Defense established the UAPTF to enhance its understanding of, and gain insight into, the character and origins of UAPs. The mission of the task force is to detect, analyze and catalog UAPs that would potentially pose a threat to US national security,” the Pentagon said during a statement.
The move is merely the newest from the Pentagon when it involves UFOs.
The Senate recently required the director of national intelligence and secretary of defense, working with other intelligence and enforcement agencies, to organize a public report of state findings on the UAP issue.
In April the US also released three declassified videos that show United States Navy pilots encountering what appear to be unidentified flying objects. The Pentagon said it released the footage to to clear up any misconceptions by the general public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real or whether or not there's more to the video.
