‘Uncoordinated’: Internal watchdog raps Pentagon’s UFO tracking effort
“The DoD has no overarching UAP policy,” a report says.

The Defense Department’s effort to identify UFOs is “uncoordinated” and could have overlooked threats to the United States, according to an unclassified version of a report from the Pentagon’s internal watchdog released Thursday.
In the report, originally released last August but containing classified sections, the DOD’s inspector general reviewed the department’s policies and procedures for detecting, reporting and analyzing UFO reports that have flooded the department in recent years.
After an investigation, the IG found that the Defense Department doesn’t have a “coordinated approach,” has developed varying processes for collecting and analyzing UFO reports, and has largely excluded regional military commands — which are responsible for detecting and deterring threats against the United States — in developing policies.
