Just to play Devils advocate a bit, $22 million is nothing. That's less than the cost of one peace bridge. I feel if the US had irrefutable evidence of extraterrestrial vehicles, they would be spending hundreds of millions or billions of black money dollars on research. Spending funds on this type of research is something I would expect the government to be doing.

Doesn't mean there isn't money being spent in other programs, but $22 million seems like nothing especially compared to the overall defence budget.

Pretty cool stuff though, will be interesting to see how this develops.

Is there an reason why this has been disclosed? I read through the NYT article a bit and it looks like they "found" the $22 million program in the defence budget. Perhaps they asked the govt about this program after it was found and that is when the government confirmed? But why? What is the purpose of releasing this video and confirming they are spending the money on UFO research?
