When government literally admits that we have daily sightings of UAPs they cannot explain - i do not understand why we still also say there is no evidence of alien life? https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/nf7h0x/wow/ https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/nf7h0x/wow/

When someone says we have daily sightings of UAPs they cannot explain you have to remind yourself that one possibility is that they're simply lying.

I do not understand why we would only be seeing UFOs at convenient airplane altitudes inside our atmosphere, but not detect them while they approach Earth, despite the fact that space is constantly being scanned for all kinds of stuff. I also don't understand why the daily UFOs would choose to just confuse us by flying around in a sorta-hidden but also sorta-not-hidden way. Why don't they interact with us if they go to the trouble of visiting? Everything about UFOs is so implausible that the alternative explanation of "we don't know what we saw, but almost certainly not a UFO" seems to be much better.

  A UFO literally means "we don't know what we saw" however the parent used UAP which gives the meaning of alien to something unknown. This contextualises the issue and brings up the questions you mention. Without this imposed meaning the questions go away. People like giving meaning to the unknown.

    Doesn’t UAP just mean unidentifiable aerial phenomena? That doesn’t say alien to me.

several of the unexplained videos are debunked. The pilots testimony does not match what their equipment is saying in the videos. The media is grossly negligent when covering these topics. The recent UFO tringle is following FAA rules and regulations with lighting its been discovered its tringle due to the lensing. UFO does not mean alien it means unidentified.

Why would UFOs be "evidence of alien life"? They would have to be identified in some sense, otherwise they are just as much evidence of fairies or saints as they are evidence of aliens.
