On January 13, the U.S. Department of defense is setting up a new office to investigate UFO sightings, which is under the jurisdiction of the office of the Deputy Secretary of defense for intelligence and security. However, many critics worry that the military may hide the truth p> < p > figure: on October 16, 1957, a U.S. government employee photographed a UFO near the Holloman Aviation Development Center in New Mexico, which hovered in the air for 15 minutes < / P > < p > in the National Defense Authorization Act passed in December 2021, it was mentioned that "the establishment of offices, organizational structures and authorities to solve the unidentified air phenomenon (UAP)". This specialized department is called the office of anomaly monitoring and resolution (Arso), which is jointly established by the Ministry of defense and the office of the director of national intelligence (DNI). Its purpose is to discover and identify UFOs, some of which may be considered a threat to national security p> < p > Arso will seek to investigate the "technical and operational characteristics, origin and intention" of UFOs. The office will have the right to send an "x-file" team for "rapid response" and "field investigation" of UFO time. It will also provide briefings on any efforts to "capture or exploit" the phenomenon and assess "health-related impacts" for those who encounter these objects. At the same time, Arso will also collect the links between UFOs and nuclear weapons p> < p > Arso may issue an annual report on UFO investigation before 2026, which will include confidential and non confidential parts. The agency will also develop standard procedures for reporting and investigating UFOs to let the American people know what they are dealing with. The office will also create a central database of UFO sightings. Perhaps most crucially, it will "assess the threat posed by such incidents to the United States" and consult with its allies p> < p > in recent years, after the videos taken by US military pilots were exposed, the topic of UFO has aroused people's interest again. The video seems to show many mysterious objects moving at an impossible speed and performing complex aerial movements. Whether these sightings are really unexplainable technologies remains to be investigated. U.S. officials are most worried about the ground threat. They are worried that foreign governments may have made progress in flight technology under the eyes of the U.S. military p> < p > Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York State said: "our national security efforts largely depend on air superiority. These UFOs pose a challenge to our dominance. The United States needs concerted efforts to control and understand whether these air phenomena are committed by foreign governments or other institutions." p> < p > Lou Elizondo, the former head of aatip (dissolved in 2017), a UFO investigation unit in the Pentagon, welcomed this move. "This historic bill is not only good for the American people, but history will prove that it is good for the world," he said Elisando added that he was currently working with former intelligence officer Christopher Mellon in Washington, D.C., to support the initiative p> < p > however, many people believe that the newly established UFO Office of the Ministry of defense will not change anything. Critics warned that the government and the Bureau would conceal any major findings. Ron James, a spokesman for the nonprofit mutual UFO network, which investigates such sightings, warned that the public is unlikely to find any evidence of the presence of aliens. "History has proved that this is a topic that needs to be kept confidential, and any information that is not suitable for disclosure will be subject to more and possibly inappropriate control," he said p> < p > James added: "even if a new office is established, we don't think it means that new resources will be used to help solve this problem. We believe that there are always considerable resources within the government and industry to some extent." Tim Burchett, a US congressman, also said: "we should never trust the Department of defense. They will never tell us the whole truth about the UFO problem." (small) < / P > < p >
