US Senator who set up Pentagon’s secret UFO unit: 'Now we have scientific evidence’

The US has “scientific evidence” of unidentified flying objects thanks to the
Pentagon’s secret UFO unit , the senator who set it up has said.

Harry Reid , a retired former Democratic Senator, succeeded in launching the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Programme (AATIP) in 2007 after requesting initial funding for the project.
The unit, which the Department of Defence (DoD) insists was terminated in 2012, produced documents that described sightings of aircraft that travelled at extremely high speeds with no visible signs of propulsion.“If this movement took place in anything we now have available to us, it would kill everybody,” Mr Reid told Las Vegas news channel KLAS Channel 8 , in reference to reported encounters with UFOs. They couldn’t withstand those g-forces. Something sitting there, ‘whoom’, down it goes.”

Previously classified footage released by the DoD showed US fighter jet pilots as they tracked an unidentified aerial object gliding above the Pacific ocean in 2004. The object had been detected appearing suddenly at 80,000 feet by the
USS Princeton , a naval cruiser, which had been tracking mysterious aircraft for two weeks.
