Inside craziest UFO sightings as Pentagon’s report reveals the TRUTH about aliens
THE US is home to some of the most bizarre yet captivating UFO sightings ever recorded.
UFOs have been the topic of conversation lately as a much anticipated report from the Pentagon has been released and may finally answer questions about the existence of aliens.

The report is said to release everything the US Government knows about extraterrestrial life and reveal if it’s a threat to the US airspace, reports.
UFO sightings aren’t anything new, as they have been going on for decades within the US. One of the first reports of a flying saucer dates all the way back to 1947.
