Lawmakers receiving the latest secret briefings on UFOs say national security agencies still aren’t taking seriously the reports of highly advanced aircraft of unknown origin violating protected airspace.
Members of the Senate Intelligence and Armed Services committees received classified progress reports in recent weeks on a series of new data collection efforts the Pentagon and spy agencies are now required to pursue to more rigorously investigate reports of UFOs, three people with direct knowledge confirmed.
But some leading sponsors of recent legislation want more analysts and surveillance systems dedicated to determining the aircrafts’ origin — and not just more reports of their existence.
One of those lawmakers is Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), a member of both committees who has called the phenomena “an urgent issue” and for the first time is expressing her public dissatisfaction at the response.
“Senator Gillibrand believes that the DoD needs to take this issue much more seriously and get in motion,” said one of her aides, who requested anonymity in order to discuss private conversations. “They have had ample time to implement these important provisions, and they need to show us that they are prepared to address this issue in the long-term.”
Expanding investigations of UAPs will require dedicating far more resources and personnel to the task, military and intelligence experts say.

It sounds like:
We need a committee or board to handle this
and
We would also need funding for the committee or board
and
Some here have interest on that committee or board
and
of course military specialist for committee or board
and
even more funding so that one or two UAV specialist can do all the work
and
bureaucratic smile
...
The truth is out there... basically meant go out there and see for yourselves; Get abducted... it's nearly impossible not too. But then what? Oh... that's why those from the committee or board are here: To investigate it.

It's my opinion, that they are asking for to much... The greatest number of sighting reports hands down, are lights in the sky that by the way, can do a lot more than we humans can do, in the sky physically - all light sources. Even for the reports that are clearly objects, we can't match their abilities. How are we to report what they are? It's not like we got a few or more, in a top secret hanger, with fraudulent physicist, working on them to discover how they operate. Much less where, what they are.

I am sure the US had nothing to do with Ukraine or their meddling which drove the Russians to respond when they were pushed to the edge over on that issue right?
The US is always innocent when it comes to such conflicts like on Syria?

In the 60's in Canada, scientists obtained the permission from the government to use old WWII radar dishes to scan the canadian skies for UFOs.
After one year, the government axed the project; there were too many unexplained things in the sky, apparently...
I don't believe agencies let it go as if nothing was there to see and learn. They just kept it secret, and despite partial disclosure now, they will keep a lot of things hush-hush for a long good while.

I firmly believe they know where they are coming from but they can't do a damn thing about it and that is why they are crapping their pants that if THAT information got out it would open Pandora's box. Think about it, the most powerful nation on Earth and they are useless, being treated like children. These UFOs come and go do just what they want and no force in the world can do anything about them.
