The US Pentagon's 63-page "report on the historical record of US government involvement with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP)" has revealed that they have found no evidence of UFOs or aliens, BBC reported. 

Additionally, it added that "most sightings were ordinary objects and phenomena and the result of misidentification," the Department of Defence's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) found no evidence of any US government investigation, research, or review panel verifying a "UAP represented extraterrestrial technology."

As per a BBC report, there was "no evidence" that the government had encountered alien life. The Pentagon officials admitted that the public's perception of alien visits will not be dispelled by their findings.

"The proliferation of television programmes, books, movies, and the vast amount of internet and social media content centred on UAP-related topics most likely has affected the public discussion on this topic, and reinforced these beliefs within some sections of the population," the report said.

The report is a part of the US government's extensive public examination of UFOs, or "unidentified anomalous phenomena." Congress hearings and open discussions with Nasa officials have been part of the study.
