'I always thought there would be disclosure but I didn't expect to see it in my lifetime.'Д«ut he added: 'I would caution against any true bombshells. 'I hope they come clean with this report,'В David McDonald, 74, MUFON's executive director and a veteran civilian pilot, told The Telegraph from MUFON headquarters in Cincinnati. MUFON was set up the following year in response to Project Blue Book being shut down. The Condon Report was compiled after looking at files from Project Blue Book, a 17-year long US Air Force programme which collected over 12,000 sightings. In 1968, the Condon Report concluded UFO sightings contained nothing of interest and that 'further extensive study probably cannot be justified.' However, UFO enthusiasts have been disappointed by government reports before. Such sentiments have given added impetus to the 33 per cent of Americans who, according to a 2019 Gallup poll, believe alien spacecraft have visited Earth. The latest senior figure to pour fuel on the fire was Bill Nelson, the new head of Nasa, who told CNN : 'We don't know if it's extraterrestrial. Leaks so far suggest the task force has found no evidence of alien originsВ but has not ruled it out either. It's going to spill, and it's going to spill big.' 'I think the Pentagon's opening a Pandora's box. Many UFO enthusiasts see it as an 'I told you so' moment in a long, and often ridiculed, quest.ДЄs Ms Ziegelmeyer put it: вЂњItвЂ™s very exciting. It could contain military research on at least 100 key unexplained sightings, including new videos and pictures. Joe Biden's Director of National intelligence, Avril Haines, will deliver a dossier compiled by the PentagonвЂ™s UAP Task Force to the US Senate intelligence committee by June 25. MUFON and the rest of AmericaвЂ™s extensive Ufology community is currently waiting with bated breath for the release of a potentially explosive Pentagon report later this month.ДЄmid a sea change in its approach, the US military is set to publish what it knows - and to admit what it doesn't know - about UFOs, which it now calls UAPs. The organisation has 600 field investigators in all 50 US states and has examined hundreds of thousands of sightings, compiling the largest UFO database in the world. She now heads the Missouri chapter of the Mutual UFO Network.

The experience led Ms Ziegelmeyer to become a civilian UFO investigator. It was so windy that day it was hard to hold the shopping cart, and those things were stationary in the air.' 'Then they claimed it was weather balloons escaped out of Texas. 'We were coming out of Kmart and we saw two silver metallic discs overhead,' she told The Telegraph. Debbie Ziegelmeyer saw her first UFO when she was walking out of a supermarket in Arnold, Missouri with her husband and young children in 1979.
