White House answers on UAP sightings

The White House responded to a question about unexplained aerial phenomena (UAPs) during a press briefing on Wednesday, July 26. Coordinator for Strategic Communications, John Kirby, said the government believed “there are unexplained aerial phenomena that have been sighted and reported by pilots, Navy and Air Force, that these phenomena have in some cases had an impact on our training ranges, on our pilots’ ability to fly, train, operate and stay ready.” Kirby continued: “There’s a whole office at the Pentagon that is stood up to analyze the data, collect reports, collate those reports and forward them up appropriately. And that’s, I think, a testament to the fact that we know that in some cases these phenomena have impacted military training, have an impact on military readiness.” Credit: The White House via Storyful
