US seeing more and more UFO sightings, but no definitive aliens yet, Pentagon says

The Pentagon is tracking more and more UFO incidents but has yet to come across any evidence of alien activity, a Defense Department official told Congress on Wednesday.

Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, testified that the Pentgaon is currently tracking some 650 instances of UFO sightings. Kirkpatrick made the statement during a Wednesday hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Kirkpatrick testified that many of the cases that reach his office are difficult to ever close, given a lack of verifiable information. As a result, only a "handful" of cases have been formally closed, he told lawmakers.

"I will not close a case that I cannot defend the conclusions of," Kirkpatrick said, according to Politico.
