The Pentagon on Monday released three videos of "unidentified aerial phenomena" — more commonly referred to as UFOs — after years of speculation about them.
The videos, captured on Navy aircraft cameras with infrared targeting systems, show black shapes floating and sometimes accelerating at incredible speeds against the wind as baffled pilots watch.
Despite long-standing popular associations with stories of aliens, the terms "unidentified aerial phenomena" and "UFO" do not mean the object is thought to be extraterrestrial.

The Palm Beach resident who found the object knew it wasn’t supposed to be there but had no idea what it was.

PORTLAND, Ore. — The Pentagon on Monday officially released three Navy videos of "unidentified" flying objects.
That revelation led us to think about the Pacific Northwest's unique history when it comes to UFOs, which includes some of the most famous reported sightings in United States history.
In 1947, private pilot Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine " saucer-like aircraft flying in formation " between Mount Rainier and Mount Adams in Washington. Arnold estimated the objects were traveling about 1,200 miles per hour.

In 1947, Kenneth Arnold was flying his CallAir A-2 between Chehalis and Yakima, Washington, when he took a detour to search for a downed Marine Corps aircraft. There was a reward for anyone who could find the plane, and who couldn't use $5,000?
Arnold flew around searching for a while, and accidentally found something else—something much stranger than what he'd actually been looking for. As he watched, rapt, nine objects flew through the air in formation.
