I would like to believe something about it, but the whole proposition is self-defeating. A group that classifies information and subsequently declassies information to a less priviledged group, is to be believed?

Your intuition and personal experience should be enough to guide your intellect. It's all secondary evidence.

But hey, please give us the narrative so we can discuss.

Government institutions have decades of precedent in handling unusual sightings. Some are misidentified aircraft. Some are atmospheric or sensor artifacts. Some remain unexplained. Unexplained does not mean extraterrestrial. It means unaccounted for within the available data. A serious release would distinguish clearly between these buckets instead of mixing them in a way that maximizes clicks and confusion.

The fact that presidents now feel compelled to address UFOs on podcasts and social platforms tells you as much about the media environment as it does about space. In a fragmented attention economy leaders compete with influencers and conspiracy channels. Talking about aliens is a shortcut to relevance. It pulls politics into the same arena as science fiction and internet lore.

So if any meaningful release happens the real opportunity is not confirmation of little green visitors. It is a chance to study how governments observe the world. How they classify and misclassify anomalies. How they communicate uncertainty. That is the part that might actually improve public understanding long after the headlines about aliens disappear.
