A Pentagon UFO unit will make some investigations public as ex-advisors suggest that vehicles not made on this earth" were placed in US government storage. The team will update the US Senate's Intelligence Committee on its unidentified flying object (UFO) research every six months, The New York Times reported. Publicly named in 2019 as the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force, the Pentagon unit succeeded an investigative UFO program that was said to have been disbanded prior to 2017. One former official, Eric Davis, [said] that he briefed the US Department of Defense in March about the retrieval of "off-world vehicles not made on this earth". The Pentagon consultant and subcontractor said objects he believed "we couldn't make ... ourselves" were discovered during his time on the unit, where he has worked since 2007. Whilst no crash artifacts have ever been documented in public, Harry Reid - the former Democratic Senate majority leader - told The Times that he "came to the conclusion" that UFO materials were in the government's possession. "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," said the former senator for Nevada. acting intelligence committee chairman Marco Rubio said last week that his priority was to uncover who was behind unidentified flying vehicles seen over American military bases.
