Officials also said there was "no evidence" that the US government had encountered alien life.
Most sightings of UFOs were ordinary objects from Earth, according to the report submitted to Congress on Friday.

On 8 March 2014, less than an hour into a routine night-time flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, the pilot said goodnight to Malaysian air traffic control. The Boeing 777, carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members, was about to cross into Vietnamese air space.
It then abruptly changed direction, and all electronic communications were cut. It turned back, first over Malaysia, and then out in

The alleged extraterrestrial has an elongated skull, slanted eyes, and an unusual number of ribs, at least according to the reporter, who stated that the body seemed to have 10 ribs on each side of the body compared t
