Harry Reid: "The American people deserve to be informed" about UFOs

• The Navy also confirmed an increase in UFO sightings in 2019. It formalized a new process to allow pilots to report sightings at the time.
• Officials have clarified that, while UFOs are not necessarily indicative of extraterrestrial life, they do raise concerns regarding advanced aircraft flying near sensitive military facilities and military-controlled ranges.

The big picture: The Navy videos were previously published by the New York Times, which interviewed the pilots involved in some of the incidents.

• They refused to speculate on the origin of the crafts they saw, but one pilot told the Times that "we're here to do a job, with excellence, not make up myths."
