[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunwoo Lee] The U.S. Department of Defense has officially acknowledged that three videos of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), which were previously known to have been filmed by the U.S. Navy and had circulated among the public, are not fabricated but are actual footage captured by the U.S. Navy.

On the 27th (local time), the U.S. Department of Defense officially confirmed that the three videos showing UFO flight scenes, which had first been leaked by a private company, were filmed by the U.S. Navy. The Navy videos officially recognized by the Department of Defense were initially released between December 2017 and March 2018 by a company researching unidentified aerial phenomena co-founded by Tom DeLonge, a musician formerly of Blink-182.

These videos were recorded with infrared cameras, and two of them include voices expressing amazement at the UFOs' rapid flight speed. There are also voices speculating that the UFOs might be drones. The U.S. Navy had previously acknowledged the authenticity of these videos in September of last year. One video was filmed in 2004, and the other two were filmed in 2015. The Department of Defense stated, "We are releasing these videos to clear up public misunderstandings about whether the circulated footage is genuine or not."

According to CNN, the Department of Defense secretly studied UFO sighting records under the direction of former Senator Harry Reid. This research began in 2007 but reportedly ended in 2012 due to higher priority projects requiring funding. On the same day, former Senator Reid tweeted, "I am pleased that the Department of Defense has officially released the videos," but added, "Only a very small part of the research has been revealed." He further stated, "The United States needs to seriously and scientifically examine the potential impact of UFOs on national security."

Some lawmakers still maintain interest in this issue, and CNN reported that several senators received classified briefings on unidentified aerial phenomena from Navy officials last summer.
