Haha! It's pretty funny, like people are so inured. Government has basically confirmed we are not alone and alien life exists, and people are like "Meh, what actual news is there?" hahaha
The absolute majority of these “phenomena” have been observed exactly since the beginning of the Cold War / a War of the Worlds radio play induced science-fiction enthusiastic/literate populace.

It’s a very convenient disguise of a series of entertaining forever stories to distract from any kind of secret militech development since that time.

If one compares with the astronomical realities of space and time and that historical “good old Terran” context, things become very clear on the probability front.

It also seems to be a great contender for “top mass distraction news of the summer”. I mean the world is literally burning and we just keep consuming, fuelling our legacy systems like the 80s never ended (unfortunately they did).

Have a listen to the podcast by the way, the military journalist they interviewed still has some cool anecdotes to share even without any actual aliens ever involved.

“I want to believe” as well but this simply ain’t the big news it’s been heralded as.

According to whom? The same people claiming that most UFO sightings happen in the US and the UK based on an undisclosed English-language institute receiving those reports?

You always have to question whether reports like this are even taken seriously and registered at all. Prior to the Cold War they were probably laughed out of the room.

Yeah that’s one of the forever-story talking points. Hard to refute your statement as we simply don’t know but again likelihoods are very low and often due to hallucinations etc.

This “story” makes for great clicks and fun tabloid newspaper headlines on the beaches during the typical “Sommerloch” news cycle.

“Kurz gesagt” watching videos like this one, much more fun IMO:
