A retired Navy senior chief petty officer has claimed to have seen a metallic orb in Afghanistan similar to one displayed in a video in US Senate during last month's hearing, but he fears that re is no secure way for him to come forward. officer's name is being withheld for fear of repercussions, as he is constrained by security agreements. According to a report from New York Post, he stated that he would like to share his story, but he is not willing to go to jail for it.

lack of a secure way to report potential UFO sightings was a major oversight, according to two lawmakers from different parties, following All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO)'s April 19th UFO hearing before Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities. AARO, which is part of US Office of Secretary of Defense, investigates UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena), which is government-created term for UFOs.

During Senate hearing, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, he of agency, presented video clips of object and stated that it was "essentially all data we have of this event". He went on to say that "it's going to be virtually impossible to fully identify that, just based off that video," and that it is considered an "unresolved case". retired Navy senior chief claimed that he and or military service members witnessed a similar metallic orb from an airborne platform in Afghanistan in early 2000s. However, due to security agreements, he cannot divulge any furr information about sighting.
