A Data-Driven Look at Unidentified Flying Objects: Elizondo and the Pentagon's Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program

To the point

Luis Elizondo says the Pentagon’s Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (2007–2012) collected military pilot sightings, used a rigorous team of PhDs and intelligence experts to analyze data and videos (including a Navy F/A-18 cockpit clip), and aimed to determine what was flying and whether it posed a national-security threat, not to chase aliens, with some cases remaining unexplained.
