Netizens were not convinced that the United States Department of Defense could post any evidence of UFOs and related cases. Several people pointed out that the announcement of this website was an attempt by the government to distract everyone from the ongoing legal cases, including those of Hunter Biden and Donald Trump.

The Pentagon also stated that the website will feature links to transcripts, reports, and other resources such as balloons, aircraft, and satellite tracking sites.
Brig. Gen. Patrick S. Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, said during a news conference on Thursday that the department plans to upgrade the new website to integrate a tool that will allow former and current U.S. government employees, contractors, and service members to provide reports on UFOs via secure and private means.

Amrita Das
Amrita is a trends writer at SK POP. She completed her post-graduation in English Language and Literature and has a rich writing experience in covering diverse topics such as blockchain technology, product reviews, travel guides, subtitles, and pop culture. However, her personal interest has always been in popular culture, which has aided her with injecting fresh insights to her stories.
Amrita emphasizes familiarizing herself with the topic at hand before approaching it solely from a writer’s perspective. She usually takes the longer route in sifting through all available information online, and makes use of primary sources and verified/official social media handles to check for consistency in details.
In case of discrepancies, she delves deeper into the primary and secondary sources for clarification, choosing to let go of a detail in case its accuracy cannot be established. She supports this approach by centering objectivity in her reportage, keeping her tone neutral at all times.
When not obsessing over a particular detail in her report, Amrita can be found reading fiction or exploring new shows or movies.
