Defense Department announces new UFO task force

The Defense Department has announced a new UFO task force to help the U.S. government spot and identify unknown objects in the air and determine whether they pose any threats.

The agency announced on Tuesday it is creating the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG) to "synchronize" Washington's efforts to "detect, identify and attribute objects of interests in Special Use Airspace," and "assess and mitigate any associated threats to safety of flight and national security."
