Pentagon sets up UFO task force to ‘detect and analyze’ sightings of mysterious aircraft that ‘could pose security risk’
THE Pentagon set up a UFO task force to "detect and analyze" sightings of a mystery aircraft that "could pose security risk," US officials say.
Last month, it emerged that these UFO-hunters were still working despite saying that they had disbanded in 2012 – and they could make findings public every six months.
The UAPTF was set up "to improve its understanding of, and gain insight into, the nature and origins of UAPs," it said.
"The mission of the task force is to detect, analyze and catalog UAPs that could potentially pose a threat to US national security," the Department of Defense said
A former US Air Force intelligence expert claimed the was seen traveling at 550 mph through the water in either 2007 or 2008.
A few years before this sighting, the famous "tic-tac" aircraft was captured on film in 2004 by two US Navy fighter jets.
Intelligence expert Mike Turber, who says he once worked for the US Air Force, made some explosive new claims back in January.
He told the the flying object can rip-roar through the air and water at incredible speeds.
It's believed there's more footage to be disclosed of the bizarre sighting, with officials previously admitting some of the classified "secret" clips were yet to be released.

Back in September 2019, the US Navy finally admitted videos taken by pilots apparently showing encounters with UFOs in 2004 are real.
They were diverted to check out an aircraft spotted on radar from a navy cruiser, the USS Princeton.
Two videos show three encounters between warplanes and what the navy has officially admitted were “unidentified aerial phenomena”.
One video was taken in 2004 and two in 2015 but were only released earlier this year and show the objects performing manoeuvres not possible using current aviation technology.
