"It moved away at high speed": encounter with a UFO left intelligence officer "speechless"
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
WASHINGTON — Late last year, a senior U.S. intelligence officer, who was on a helicopter mission investigating 'dry hits' near a mountain range, encountered a mysterious orange sphere: an object that split in two and changed direction. 'The ground team suddenly radioed that the object had ascended from the ground, approached within ten feet of the helicopter, descended below us, and moved away at high speed,' the officer detailed in a memorandum from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence following the strange encounter. The document was included in a second batch of declassified files — released this Friday — regarding unidentified anomalous phenomena (previously and more notoriously known as unidentified flying objects or UFOs); documents that have been disclosed this year by the Trump administration. The U.S. government had kept these files under wraps for decades. Questions about whether humans are alone in the universe and whether extraterrestrial life has ever visited Earth have captivated Americans since at least the late 19th century, fueled by science fiction and urban myths about strange sightings and even alleged abductions by aliens.
