That there be a place where this is cataloged and constantly analyzed, until we get some answers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe it has a very simple answer. Maybe it doesn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As acting Senate Intelligence Committee chair in December, Rubio has asked for an unclassified copy of the report to be presented to Congress.<\/p>\n<p>But Rubio told host Bill Whitaker that there is a \u201cstigma\u201d among some on Capitol Hill when it comes to UFOs, also known as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, some of my colleagues are very interested in this topic and some kinda, you know, giggle when you bring it up,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I don\u2019t think we can allow the stigma to keep us from having an answer to a very fundamental question.\u202f\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former Navy Lt. Ryan Graves told \u201c60 Minutes\u201d that he and other members of his squadron spotted UAPs hovering over restricted airspace southeast of Virginia Beach \u201cevery day for a couple of years\u201d beginning in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Graves said that the unidentified vessels \u2014 like ones seen in a Pentagon-confirmed US Navy video near San Diego \u2014 are a security threat.<\/p>\n<div id=\"cx-membership-tile\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI am worried, frankly. \u2026 if these were tactical jets from another country that were hanging out up there, it would be a massive issue,\u201d Graves said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut because it looks slightly different, we\u2019re not willing to actually look at the problem in the face.

Now that the government has acknowledged the reality of Unexplained Aerial Phenomenon [or UAP, which is synonymous with UFO] \u2026 it\u2019s going to be real hard to backtrack.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/05\/16\/sen-marco-rubio-calls-on-us-to-take-ufo-reports-seriously\/\" class=\"icon none\">This story originally appeared at NYPost.com<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>      <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Tamar Lapin\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tamar_Lapin\"><\/span>Tamar Lapin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
