Out-of-this-world revelations in short supply at US Congress briefing on UFOs

Military admits to being ‘less than forthcoming’ as amateurs and senators say government should take the issue more seriously

During a 90-minute briefing in Washington a highlight was the release of two new videos showing unidentified aerial phenomena, although one of them was immediately debunked by Scott Bray, the deputy director of navy intelligence.
