“What I ask our scientists to do is to see if theres any kind of explanation, from a scientific point of view, and Im awaiting their report,” says Nelson.
Nelson says he spoke with some of the Navy members who spotted the UFOs while he was still serving as Florida’s senior senator from 2001 to 2019.
” I talked to the Navy pilots when we were briefed in the Senate Armed Services Committee, and my feeling is that there is clearly something there. It may not necessarily be an extraterrestrial, but if it is a technology that some of our adversaries have, then we better be concerned,” Nelson told CNN.
Investigators involved with the nine-page report refused to rule out the UFOs may have an otherworldly origin according tothe DailyMail.
Nelson also says despite tensions continuing to rise between China and the US, the most advanced tertiary enemy could not be responsible for the military’s recent UFO encounters.
The recent UFO sightings by the US military have been over the Atlantic ocean.
Nelson believes the Pentagon’s recently declassified report leaves more questions than answers, but that will soon change as NASA technologies continue to advance.
“Are we alone? Personally, I don’t think we are…We are already finding examples of other planets around other suns, when we launch the James Webb [new model] telescope in November, it will appear back in time, almost to the beginning and additional information will find more planets,’ he said.
