I've come to believe that the government does know a lot more about UFOs than they've said.

That's Politico reporter Brian Bender. He's reported on the Pentagon for two decades.

But I don't think they have all the answers. I think it's a bunch of puzzle pieces spread throughout a million agencies.

They don't talk to each other, they don't share it.

They didn't want to share it until now.

There's this new atmosphere where they can talk about it, where they couldn't before.

I'm Rachel Bade. This is Playbook Deep Dive.

In today, how UFOs are flying out of science fiction and into the heart of the Senate.

With everyone from former Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Shouldn't we at least be spending some money to study all these phenomena?

To Florida Republican Marco Rubio.

Anything that enters an airspace that's not supposed to be there is a threat.

But you're on the Intel Committee that don't even tell you what's going on?

I mean, there's stuff flying over the top of our military places and they don't know who's flying.

They don't even know what it is.

So that's a problem. We need to find out if we can.

The military has seen enough things when they're actually now encouraging pilots to report.

And nobody knows what it is. And it is an hour.

When it comes to aliens, there are some things I just can't tell you on air.

But you'll tell us off that.

Right.

What is true.
