It's a brilliant PR move by the Pentagon to hire a reality TV star to head a UFO study in this cyber era of (mis)information. Anyone with common sense already knows that the US has not militarised space and created a new arm of the military (US Space Force) to fight any alien invasion. But the Pentagon knows how essential PR is to justify its huge budget. It can be hard to justify to the public why a new, independent arm of the military is needed to protect critical infrastructure, especially when you can't reveal the primarily goals of Space Force without inviting more critical scrutiny and endangering future military goals. So UFOs (which the general public automatically associate with extraterrestrial aliens) provide a good PR distraction for the US Space Force from real political criticism and scrutiny.
(As "conspiracy" theories go, apart from protecting critical infrastructure the primary goals of the US Space Force is to aid in the creation and protection of next-gen satellite internet and a drone military. This will slowly allow the US to completely take over the internet infrastructure globally, using BigTech, to the point of even making local telecommunication infrastructure of a country redundant. And second, it will create a new planet wide network of satellites and a communication platform to create the next-gen drone military that is inevitable when Robotics and AI r&d reach a certain threshold. A drone military is essential and inevitable for countries like the US where losing military personnels in a war has a high political and miliary cost, unlike say in China or India that have a huge population and a voluntary military force with no conscription.)
