GovExec Daily: What Does the Pentagon Know About UFOs?

Nextgov's Brandi Vincent joins the podcast to discuss her podcast investigation into the Defense Department's Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force.

People see things in the night sky all the time that cannot be identified and most of us write those sightings off as nonsense. But, the Pentagon – and the broader federal government – doesn’t have the luxury to ignore anything that could be a threat to national security, including undefined flying objects. 

Brandi Vincent is a reporter covering emerging technology for GovExec sibling site Nextgov and her recent podcast episode explores the Defense Department programs that are investigating UFO phenomena. She joined the show to talk about the episode and what she learned.
