If UAPs are a natural phenomenon, then why such secrecy? Why make a meeting behind closed doors at the government level?
If they are advanced craft/drones from Russia/China, then what about all the various UFO sightings and reports collected all over the world over a period of 70+ years?
Now, does it mean aliens are behind the phenomenon? Not necessarily, but I think we have to be open to that possibility, yes. Even if we don't understand their motivations in visiting us. I'm not sure why people are so polarized about it.
- nickelcitymario 5y ago> "Why such secrecy?" I don't know, but it's not hard to imagine a scenario where the US military benefits from people believing they have access to such advanced technology. Much like how Russia uses literal inflatable "tanks" to bolster the appearance of their military. If you were them, would you really want to dispel the belief that you might be even more powerful than you let on?
- jjk166 5y agoBecause you don't want to publish "this weather balloon was incorrectly identified at first because the only radar system pointed in that direction can't tell the difference between a flock of birds and fleet of bombers" or "we know that wasn't a chinese stealth drone because we already know that looks like this." By disclosing what you identify and how, you reveal your capabilities and limitations. While some information may be harmless, you never know what a sufficiently clever adversary could exploit. Given that there is no benefit to making the information public, secrecy is a good default behavior.
