Some of these steps are resource-intensive and would require additional investment. And there you have it. The "money quote" in both the literal and metaphorical sense. Of course the Military / Espionage / Industrial Complex community is going to try to keep paranoia about "UAP's" and "UFO's" stoked... as long as they can use that to justify more $$$ flowing into their coffers. They have to play a delicate balancing act though: stoke just enough fear to keep the money flowing, but not so much that anybody starts demanding they actually deliver anything measurable with that money. Nice gig if you can get it. The sensors mounted on U.S. military platforms are typically designed to fulfill specific missions. As a result, those sensors are not generally suited for identifying UAP. Anybody want to team up on a new startup focused on "UAP sensors" and sell them to the government for $43,927.33 each?
