Documents might help scientists shed light on unexplained phenomena and government secrets, experts said.
President Trump directed his administration to release files on UFOs and any "alien and extraterrestrial life," an issue that has drawn decades of fascination — and spawned more than a few wild theories.
Director of Pentagon office probing UFOs showed Congress three cases it's resolved, but also discussed three — out of nearly two dozen — still under active investigation.
Among the 757 reports received, 4% had unusual descriptions, like "green fireball" or "a jelly fish with [multicolored] flashing lights."
The Pentagon's latest report on UFOs, now referred to as UAPs, finds no evidence that any of the reported sightings were caused by extra-terrestrial beings.
Jamie Maussan, a longtime UFO researcher, was joined in Mexico's Congress by a former U.S. Navy pilot, who later dismissed Maussan's "unsubstantiated stunt."
NASA officials stressed that the group found no evidence that UAPs are "extraterrestrial" in nature, but said some of the objects cannot be explained.
The site aims to serve as a "one-stop shop" for publicly available information related to unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs, according to the Pentagon.
A former military intelligence officer-turned-whistleblower told House lawmakers that Congress is being kept in the dark about unidentified anomalous phenomena.
Republican Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida, Anna Paulina Luna of Florida and Tim Burchett of Tennessee, and Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz of Florida sent a letter to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
The 16-member independent study group is set to release a report detailing the findings of its investigation later this summer.
No debris from either object was found, officials said.
The new annual report on UFOs, or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), contains 366 more reported sightings than included in the initial report in 2021.
