■Class discussion: What do think was the source of the 144 reports of what the government calls "unidentified aerial phenomenon"? An official said there were “no clear indications that there is any non-terrestrial explanation” for the objects. Because most were reported near military bases, could they be spy planes or drones? Releasing the declassified document marks one of the first times the U.S. government has acknowledged that the sightings were worthy of scrutiny. Do you think the government is hiding information about UFOs? Why or why not? Is it surprising that we simply don’t know what these objects are?
