The Pentagon has dismissed recent claims regarding alien sightings, stating in its annual report on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) that there is no evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activities, or technologies. However, the report does highlight 21 cases that warrant further investigation. This announcement follows congressional hearings focused on UAPs, commonly known as UFOs, which took place yesterday.

During the hearings, a former defense department official asserted that the government possesses more information than it publicly acknowledges. \"Let me be clear. UAPs are real,\" the official stated, suggesting that advanced technologies not developed by the U.S. or any other government are surveilling sensitive military sites worldwide. The official also claimed that the U.S. and some adversaries have access to UAP technologies.

These discussions come in the wake of a whistleblower's allegations over a year ago, which accused the Pentagon of operating a covert UFO retrieval program—an assertion that the Pentagon has firmly denied. The ongoing dialogue around UAPs continues to stir public interest and speculation about the nature of these phenomena and the government's transparency regarding them.
