I neither "believe" nor "disbelieve" in UFOs. Some of the stories and evidence seem credible, but the "U" stands for Unknown. No reason to jump to "aliens."

I don't like to form strong opinions about things I don't know much about. And if people are looking for something to worry about, this seems like it should be pretty far down on the list.



To be pedantic, the "U" in UFO stands for "unidentified"


"no reason to jump to aliens"

I agree with that, which is why its pretty interesting the whistle blowers who went before Congress used the term "non-human intelligence" pretty extensively.

In any case the point the article makes and the one I'm most interested in, is it looks like we've been lied to.


> "non-human intelligence"

Why couldn't this be an A.I. that runs circles around us ?

If an alien craft contains zero biomass, it might have taken thousands or even millions(!!) of years to finally arrive at our humble abode.


>it looks like we've been lied to.

I don’t get this conclusion at all, please explain. The article makes estimates without showing their work, then arrives at some probability of a coverup. A coverup where the government releases footage and documents. They just don’t agree that the reports and footage constitute evidence that is compelling.
