Pentagon shows off cool new UFO footage, but still says it's probably not aliens

pcgamer.com:

The first congressional hearing on the matter of UFOs in more than 50 years was held yesterday, as the the House Intelligence Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation Subcommittee hosted two US military witnesses to answer the question: Hey, are aliens flying around our planet in little spaceships, or what?

And alas, even though they admit they can't explain all of the strange sightings witnessed over the years, military brass are still unwilling to attribute unidentified flying objects (or as they now like to call them, UAPs, which stands for unidentified aerial phenomena) to extraterrestrial activity.

This is the second crushing disappointment this month for those of us who wish aliens would be confirmed so real life would be at least a little bit more like a videogame or a sci-fi film. Expert geologists also just told us the mysterious cool-looking doorway spotted on Mars by NASA's Curiosity rover isn't proof of aliens either. Instead, it's just a natural feature of erosion. (Also, the door isn't even a meter tall, so the aliens would have to be pretty teeny.)

Most UAPs can be ruled out as airborne clutter, atmospheric phenomena, or human-made aircraft or other «systems» (drones, balloons, satellites, and so on), said Deputy Director of Navy Intelligence Scott Bray. «There are a small handful in which there are flight characteristics or signature management that we can't explain with the data we have available. Those are obviously the ones that are of most interest to us.»

Bray also showed off a few interesting clips of some UAP footage. Have a look, courtesy of our friends at Space.com.

The first clip is a split-second glance at a teardrop-shaped something-or-other, that's really nothing more
