Depressing to see this thread immediately devolve into dismissals from people who obviously didn't take the time to read the article. It's actually pretty interesting -- both because of who it's about (pretty serious classified government dude) and what action he's taking (collecting hard data).
To paraphrase:
I've spent a lot of time in classified programs and there doesn't seem to be any official government UFO program, so getting the government to disclose what it knowns won't amount to much. Having said that, if such programs exist they're likely conducted by separate, extra-government organizations. Personally, I think the phenomenon is worth studying based on a high number of credible people giving credible reports. Because of that, I've joined the board of UFODATA which is using automated surveillance stations to try to collect (more) hard data about UFOs.

The videos mentioned in the article ( found here: https://www.youtube.com/user/MUFONHQ/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/MUFONHQ/videos ) are things like recordings of drones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khdW87DblIo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khdW87DblIo Many of them are just straight-up pitch-black, lacking any kind of frame of reference, with one or more lights in them that move on the screen. There's literally no way to tell whether the thing moves or the people just move their phone.
