THE Pentagon's hotly anticipated new UFO report will open a "Pandora's box" on aliens, ET hunters have said.
Alien enthusiasts who have spent decades searching the skies finally feel they have been vindicated as the traditionally fringe topic has stepped into the mainstream.
American intelligence services are compiling a dossier on a string of strange encounters between the US military and UFOs – which is set for release next month.
Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) – a coalition of 600 civilian ET hunters across the US – is eagerly awaiting the file which has been reported to leave the door open for an alien origin for the encounters.
UFOlogy has a rich history in the US – with the first reported sightings of flying saucers, the infamous Roswell incident, and rumours about Area 51.
However, this subculture is now crashing headlong into what is becoming a national security debate at the heart of Washington DC.
Debbie Ziegelmeyer, the MUFON chapter master for Missouri, told The Telegraph: "It’s very exciting. It means I'm not so crazy any more.
"I think the Pentagon's opening a Pandora's box. It's going to spill, and it's going to spill big."
US intelligence services officially closed the book on the phenomena in 1969 at the conclusion Project Blue Book – which stated there was nothing to see regarding UFOs.
However, in the last three years there has been an abrupt turnaround as the Pentagon took the unprecedented step of confirming three stunning UFO videos filmed by the US Navy.
Competing theories on the strange videos continue to rage – with some grounded on Earth claiming the videos capture never-before-seen military aircraft or drones, while others claim it shows otherworldly craft possibly piloted by aliens.
Others however are more sceptical and sometimes even dismissive, claiming the bizarre videos may just be camera tricks, natural phenomena or even outright hoaxes.
MUFON executive director David McDonald, 74, a former pilot, said: " hope they [the Pentagon] come clean with this report.
"I always thought there would be disclosure [about UFOs] but I didn't expect to see it in my lifetime."
He added: "I would caution against any true bombshells. I expect they'll fall back a bit on 'can neither confirm nor deny'."
MUFON work by trying to debunk sightings as they compile a database of reports of objects in the sky – the largest of its kind in the US.
The most common sightings are silver metallic objects and balls of light – and while MUFON say 90 per cent are explainable, its the rest which have their interest.
Peter Davenport, who runs the National UFO Reporting Centre in Washington state, says he receives thousands of calls from people reporting objects in the sky on his 24 hour hotline.
Based out of an underground nuclear missile silo, Mr Davenport was cautious about the upcoming report – suggesting it could be an elaborate cover up.
Mr Davenport said:"We all hope the government comes clean with their citizens.
"But I'm sceptical. I'm not exactly convinced that the Department of Defence is going to come clean."
He added: "If they [the military] haven't figured out that aliens are now visiting the planet they better take off their uniforms and find another line of work."
UFO hunters have accused the US of placing a 70 year "truth embargo" on the strange encounters.
And many hope this report will be one step closer towards widespread disclosure on what exactly is going on.
What is going on with UFOs in the US?
UFOS have stepped from fringe conspiracy theories to a genuine national security debate in the US.
Pentagon officials last year took the unprecedented step to confirm a trio of remarkable videos which showed US encounters with UFOs.
The debate is still open as to what the phenomena caught on film were – but it made clear to everyone, something is in the skies.
Perhaps the most striking was a video known as the “Tic Tac” – which showed an unidentified object being pursued by fighter planes.
The US also confirmed the existence of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) – a Pentagon programme set up to study UFOs before being disbanded in 2017.
However, it was replaced by the UAP Task Force in June 2020 after a vote by the US Senate Intelligence Committee.
Defence chiefs have since confirmed a number of leaked UFO videos and photos which were submitted to the Task Force for investigation.
Why this sudden rush for transparency?
No outside the secretive wings of the US government currently knows for sure.
And as a tacked on addendum to a 5,500 page Covid relief bill passed in December, the the Director of National Intelligence’s office was ordered to compile a report on UFOs within 180 days.
Former intelligence director John Ratcliffe has hinted the report will be a big deal – and we now just over a month away from its release.
The five month deadline elapses on in June, with some UFO lobbyists claiming it could be the “most profound moment in human history".
US intelligence officials were ordered to compile a dossier for Congress after a flurry of videos filmed by US Navy and Air Force personnel were leaked in the press.
Strange footage shows encounters with objects which appear to defy all conventional understanding of how aircraft move – with the most recent showing 14 UFOS swarming the USS Omaha in 2019.
And extraordinary interventions have been made by former presidents such as Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, who both hinted there are things in the sky that cannot be identified.
Mr Obama said: "What is true, and I’m actually being serious here, is that there’s footage and records of objects in the skies, that we don’t know exactly what they are, we can’t explain how they moved, their trajectory
"They did not have an easily explainable pattern. And so, you know I think that people still take seriously trying to investigate and figure out what that is."
The Sun Online previously spoke to Tobias Ellwood MP, chair of the Defence Select Committee, who told us the UK should also prepare a report like the US.
He speculated the craft could be advanced drones from Russian or China, noting the extraordinary pace of technological developments.
It is expected the Pentagon report will be released sometime before or around June 25.
