Mysterious UFO sightings could really be Russian & Chinese military DRONES in huge national security issue, expert warns
RUSSIAN and Chinese military drones could explain the mysterious alleged UFO sightings, an expert warns.
Nick Pope, who investigated UFOs for the British Government, said the issue of unidentified aerial phenomena has “gone dark” since Pentagon’s report was published in June.
In a 2019 report, Li Chen, of the Air Force Early Warning Academy warned: “The frequent occurrence of unidentified air conditions in recent years… brings severe challenges to air defense security of our country.”
He believed AI could “think outside the box” as researchers tried to establish a source behind alleged sightings – whether that be hostile government or nature.
And, in 1989, kids in Voronezh, formerly part of the Soviet Union, claimed they saw a pink glow and a red ball hover in the sky.
The kids sensationally claimed that the alien used a laser gun to make a 16-year-old boy disappear.
'ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL'
Pope said: “The closed and secret nature of China and Russia means that they could’ve been investigating UFOs for much longer, but the US has seemingly only woken up to this natural security issue.
“The US has been asleep at the wheel. I think it's just like the old saying 'the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist'. I think bureaucrats have been looking the other way.”
The Pentagon’s landmark report that investigated unidentified aerial phenomena examined 144 alleged sightings, but could only establish one with “high confidence”.
The object was identified as a "large, deflating balloon" and was put down to "airborne clutter";.
Former NASA astronaut Bill Nelson believes humans are not alone in the universe.
While GOP congressman Tim Burchett speculated that Russian strongman Putin would send a UAP to show superiority amid national security fears.
Experts believe that this year could be a crucial year in attempting to uncover the UFO mystery.

Pope believes 2022 will be critical for the ufology movement as he said: "You can either just sit back and let things happen, in which case, you’ll lose initiative, or you can really take what happened last year.
“Having moved from fringe to mainstream, we need to keep asking hard questions holding government to account, and pushing for more initiatives and disclosures.”
