As of 2021 the US Government has confirmed that UFO's now officially UAP's exist, while asserting that these are neither U.S. military devices, nor is there evidence that they are extraterrestrial. We will consider the recent reports, some of the historical encounters, official US Government videos (!) and consider what this all might mean.
