Coincidentally, the Pentagon held the first public hearing to discuss unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in over 50 years.
Officials testified that there have been about 400 reports of “unidentified aerial phenomena” and called them “a potential national security threat”.
Strange lights appear over South China Sea, spark UFO discussions

The clip gained significant attention from Twitter users, who shared their theories.
Some pointed out that it could just be reflections from the cockpit, while others said it could be a flock of birds.
There were also those who stated that it could be a sign of military activity, specifically military flares.
Pentagon reports increased UFO sightings
Whether it was drones or a hapless Martian losing his way, such sightings are allegedly becoming more frequent.
The Pentagon recently held a hearing for the first time in 50 years to discuss these “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP).
Officials said they have received about 400 reports of these strange sightings from pilots and service members, CBS News reports.
In comparison, there were only 144 such reports from 2004 to 2021.
What’s curious is that the sightings were “frequent and continuing”, often happening in military locations or designated airspaces.
The hearing came after a 2021 report stated that “UAP clearly pose a safety of flight issue and may pose a challenge to US national security”.
During the hearing, US representative André Carson reportedly emphasised the need to investigate the UAP and mitigate any possible threats.
The mystery of the strange lights rages on
Just like numerous other alleged UFO sightings, these lights hovering over the South China Sea are indeed baffling.
Could they mean that we should be gearing up for an encounter with the supernatural? Or have we been watching too much of “The X-Files”?
Whatever it is, it looks like the mystery of the floating lights will remain unsolved.
