Adopting Sun Tzu’s mantra that “victorious warriors win first and then go to war,” the Defense Department has launched a preemptive strike on Congress. Specifically, a strike against congressional efforts to ramp up government research of UFOs (what the government refers to as “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena”).

On Tuesday, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks announced the formation of a group to lead the government’s UFO investigations. Attesting to the Pentagon’s affinity for absurd acronyms, the group will be called “AOIMSG.” The Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group will be supervised by the AOIMEXEC, or the Airborne Object Identification and Management Executive Council.
