WASHINGTON \u2014 Intelligence officials are set to deliver Congress a report on unexplained aerial phenomenon, better known as UFOs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The document, from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, will provide an update to a report the intelligence agency made public in June 2021, which explored more than 140 incidents of UAP encounters between 2004 and 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite calls for greater transparency from lawmakers and military leaders, it is not yet clear which contents of the coming report will be made public. While it could offer more detailed explanations into the surge of recent sightings, Defense Department officials are downplaying theories of alien invasions and emphasizing ordinary objects they say are more likely to blame.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
