For five years, from 2007 to 2012, the Pentagon ran a $22 million program that investigated reports of UFOs. The program investigated accounts by military personnel and commercial pilots who witnessed unidentified aircraft that appeared to move or hover without visible signs of propulsion or lift. Backers say that the program remains in existence.
The shadowy program, parts of which remain classified, was largely funded at the request of a politician who had an interest in space phenomena. Officials with the program have studied videos of encounters between unknown objects and American military aircraft, including one released in August of a whitish oval object, about the size of a commercial plane, chased by two Navy F/A-18F fighter jets from the aircraft carrier Nimitz off the coast of San Diego in 2004.
