That UFO report has us thinking all wrong about the military

The truth is out there, but it's almost certainly not going to be in the upcoming report to the US Congress on American military encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP -- the phenomenon previously referred to as UFOs.

In case you've missed the latest chapter of the decades-long flying saucers space opera, some 21st century footage and eyewitness accounts from US Navy pilots support stories of objects making seemingly physics-defying maneuvers in the air (and into the ocean, in at least one case). The Navy has confirmed the veracity of the footage, much media attention has been dedicated to the topic and now a mandatory report to Congress from intelligence agencies on "advanced aerial threats" is due by June 25.
