A former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence said the
Pentagon needs a real-life Fox Mulder.

Writing in The Washington Post, Christopher Mellon argued that the military is
shrugging off its duty to investigate weird UFO encounters reported by members
of the U.S. Navy and Air Force. In December, the Defense Department released two
declassified videos showing pilots exclaiming over strange aircraft that seemed
to accelerate rapidly with no obvious means of propulsion. The unidentified
flying objects, which look like dark and light blobs on the videos, were about
40 feet (12 meters) long and could supposedly dive thousands of feet in a flash.

Mellon, now retired from government after a career in both the Bill Clinton and
George W. Bush presidential administrations, is an advisor to the private firm
To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science, a research company that aims to "bring
transformative science and engineering out of the shadows." The company just
released a declassified video taken from a Naval F/A-18 aircraft that appears to
show a swiftly moving "anomalous aerial vehicle" off the U.S. East Coast. In the
audio, the pilots express awe at the speed of the object.
