The Pentagon has provided a classified briefing to members of Congress in the US about reported encounters by navy pilots with unidentified aircraft, some of which were said to have no visible engines and could reach hypersonic speeds.
Earlier this year, a number of pilots reported seeing the objects on an almost daily basis from the summer of 2014 to March 2015, while flying navy jets off the east coast of the United States.
Some of the encounters were even captured on video, leading the navy to announce it had updated the way pilots were to formally report the incidents.

U.S. Navy drafting new rules to handle UFO sightings - Washington Times
The U.S. Navy is drafting new, updated guidelines to report sightings of “unidentified aircrafts,” in a move to assess the mysterious encounters reported by pilots and sailors and set the record straight on UFOs.
The update comes as reports of the sightings among sailors have increased. In a statement, the Navy acknowledged there have been enough encounters to warrant a need to record them “for safety reasons,” and said each report will be taken “very seriously.” The statement was first reported in Politico.
In 2012, the Pentagon closed its Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, the office which investigated UFO sighting reports. After calls from Congress in 2017, the military opened an office within the Defense Intelligence Agency to study the encounters.
