The New York Times is reporting that the Pentagons secretive UFO unit is going to make some of its findings public.
And the newspaper said one consultant to the agency has briefed US Defense Department officials of some highly unusual discoveries including items retrieved from off-world vehicles not made on this Earth.
The Times said that while the Pentagon has claimed that it disbanded its UFO office, that department has in reality simply changed names and moved, and a US Senate committee report suggests it will be expected to make some information public every six months.
The main goal isnt alien spaceships, but rather something much closer to home: to see if confounding sightings including some by the military are actually advanced technology from rival nations.
The Times report also hints at possible artifacts from UFO crashes, citing former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).

After looking into this, I came to the conclusion that there were reports some were substantive, some not so substantive that there were actual materials that the government and the private sector had in their possession, he told the newspaper.
Astrophysicist Eric W. Davis, who has been a subcontractor and consultant for the Pentagon, told the newspaper he briefed the Defense Department in March about the off-world vehicles not made on this Earth.
He said he has examined some of the materials and concluded we couldnt make it ourselves.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) also indicated that he was concerned that supposed UFOs could be advanced tech from foreign nations.

We have things flying over our military bases and places where were conducting military exercises, and we dont know what it is, and it isnt ours, Rubio, who is acting chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told CBS4 in Miami last week.
He added:
I would say that, frankly, that if its something from outside this planet, that might actually be better than the fact that weve seen some technological leap on behalf of the Chinese or the Russians or some other adversary that allows them to conduct this sort of activity.
He said the objects in these sightings exhibit, potentially, technologies that you dont have at your own disposal making them a national security risk.
The militarys encounters with possible UFOs have come under intense interest in recent years since several videos were leaked in 2017 showing encounters with fast-moving objects including one given the nickname Tic Tac because it looked like one of the candies.

This object, still not publicly identified, dropped from 60,000 feet to just 50 feet in a matter of seconds:
