An upcoming government report on unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, is set to feature information that doesn’t come with an easy explanation, according to a former national intelligence official.
Last week, former PresidentDonald Trump’s former intelligence director John Ratcliffe appeared during a segment on Fox News, where he was asked about theupcoming government report on UFOs.
“So in short, things that we are observing that are difficult to explain,” Ratcliffe added. “There are actually quite a few of those and I think that that information is being gathered and will be put out in a way that the American people can see.”
According to Ratcliffe — who was director of national intelligence for about eight months at the end of Trump’s presidential term — a “plausible explanation” is always searched for, but is not always found.
“Weather can cause disturbances, visual disturbances, [and] sometimes we wonder whether or not our adversaries have technologies that are a little bit further down the road than we thought or than we realized,” he notes. “But there are instances where we don’t have good explanations for some of the things that we’ve seen.”

“It’s not just a pilot or a satellite or some intelligence collection, usually we have multiple sensors that are picking up these things,” Ratcliffe adds. “They’re unexplained phenomenon and there’s actually quite a few more than have been made public.”
According toUSA Today, the forthcoming report is expected to be released later this year on June 1, as Bartiromo noted during his guest appearance.
Ratcliffe initially wanted to get the information out before he left office, but said it wasn’t able to be released “into an unclassified format” quickly enough.
