'UFOs are a threat': Pentagon warned about safety of US citizens weeks before Air Force shot down suspicious objects
WASHINGTON, DC: Pentagon had warned that the military found unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) around its ‘operating areas’, according to new slides from a January 11 presentation by Dr Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the DoD’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. The new data reveals that it had alerted the authorities by stating that it 'most often in the vicinity of US military facilities.' As per records, this slide was sent just weeks before a suspected spy balloon and three other suspicious objects were shot down by American Air Force.
One of Kirkpatrick's presentations claimed that the UFOs were 'threats to the immediate safety of US citizens and Government facilities.' The other slide said that 'safety and security risks of UAP heighten US Government awareness and drives research and mitigation efforts'. The slides in question were handed over to the Transportation Research Board of the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on January 11 in Washington DC. It focuses on the functioning of AARO with other agencies to make sure 'unidentified, anomalous objects are effectively and efficiently detected, tracked, analyzed, and managed.' Furthermore, the slides also suggested civilian pilots assist by reporting strange sightings in the sky to the department, reports the Daily Mail.

'Potentially threatening strategic deterrence'
The slide read, “The potentially ubiquitous presence of UAP defines the national-security implications and drives the broad range of stakeholders and demand for rigorous scientific understanding of and intelligence on phenomena.” It continued, “Consequence of UAP in the vicinity of strategic capabilities is high, potentially threatening strategic deterrence and safety of civil society.” The report of January 11, added that the DoD is “strengthening observations and reporting capabilities near US strategic capabilities and critical infrastructure.” Kirkpatrick, a renowned physicist and intelligence officer added in his presentation that AARO tried ‘recovering’ downed UAP, “[Office is involved in] UAP detection, tracking, mitigation, and recovery.”
Congressmen's reaction to the UFOs threat
Ex-top military intelligence official Christopher Mellon tweeted on the development, “The USAF *really* has some explaining to do when it comes to UAP. People who are surprised at the presence of these objects haven't been paying attention. One of the reasons why I've been calling for changes to our sensor and reporting procedures for years.” Another congressman, Marco Rubio, the ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, wrote on social media, “The last 72 hours revealed to the public what was happening for years, unidentified aircraft routinely operating over restricted US airspace.”
