00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.160
This is UFO sidings today. The BBC this morning ran

2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:08.199
a wide ranging explainer on UFOs, revisiting the cases that

3
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:12.199
made this field a public obsession. It walks from Roswell

4
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:15.640
to the twenty four naval tic TAC encounter and the

5
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:18.760
Cold War era missile shut downs at Malmstrom and MiNet,

6
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.960
and it notes a fresh wave of unconfirmed reports now

7
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:26.760
circulating online. The story is not a conclusion. The BBC

8
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:30.440
frames these as sightings that remain unverified, but it lays

9
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:35.200
out why military witnesses, radar tracks and newly declassified files

10
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.039
keep pushing Congress and the public back toward the same

11
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:43.679
uncomfortable question, what precisely is in our skies? Fox News

12
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.920
reported that Representative Tim Burchett called a two hour meeting

13
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:50.119
at the Pentagon Eye Opening, accusing what he called a

14
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:54.439
deep state effort to hide information about UFOs. That report

15
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:58.640
says he demanded answers. Birchett has long pushed for disclosure

16
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.960
and is previously a on the record that we have

17
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:07.560
sworn testimony that there are recovered alien bodies. Whether you

18
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.799
accept that claim or not. His remarks signal that the

19
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:16.840
political pressure on Pentagon briefings shows no sign of easing online.

20
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:20.560
The conversation has turned to a December fifth, twenty twenty

21
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:24.200
four video from eastern Connecticut. The poster says it was

22
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.719
eight o'clock at night, there were eleven to thirteen flashing

23
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:31.280
lights over a lake. They hovered and vanished, and the

24
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:35.599
feeling they describe as one of lasting unease. Investigators at

25
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:40.400
the Pentagon's Anomaly Resolution Office urge caution many cases resolved

26
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:45.359
to satellites, drones, balloons, or censor errors, and officials keep

27
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.200
pressing for better data rather than dramatic interpretations. We'll keep

28
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:54.480
watching the skies. UFO sightings today is for informational purposes only.
