The US Navy has updated its process for UFO sightings, with a new process to report sightings of ‘unauthorised’ and ‘unidentified aircraft’.

‘For safety and security concerns, the Navy and the U.S. Air Force takes these reports very seriously and investigates each and every report.

‘As part of this effort, the Navy is updating and formalizing the process by which reports of any such suspected incursions can be made to the cognizant authorities.

‘A new message to the fleet that will detail the steps for reporting is in draft.’
