From Neanderthal times to our times fantasy has given comfort and allowed humans to cope with the vicissitudes of life. Threatened by a terrible virus and with a culture at war with it self, UFO's allow folks to decide that there is something more powerful and has magic powers. This ache for UFO truths will fade as the country goes back to work. As for Russian or Chinese drones, we do the same, we have pestered our friends and enemies for a long time.

Being seen and being caught are two entirely different things which the author interchanges as if they weren't. Why would beings who know humans could never catch them care whether they're 'caught' on camera. Really, why would they or should they? And having been around Naval aviation a long time, I can tell you tracking and targeting systems, radar. FLIR, MAD gear ad the like are not designed to produce high quality visuals, FA-18s are not Hollywood film equipment. They are engineered to perform the specific task at hand and only that task integrated into a flying platform which barely has the space and allowances to accommodate that. Then there's the visual take and confirmation of professionals whose job it is to scrutinize and evaluate any such entity entirely objectively. Navy and Marine aviators rely on this because the consequences of doing so, or failing to, hold life and death implications for them and their fleet. If such professionals say they saw what they saw, particularly in a scenario where multiple folks concur with one another about what was seen, you can bet your bottom dollar it's what was there. As for the defense budget angle, why have they waited 70 years to play this card? There have been several periods of much tighter DoD purse strings than exist today and no such maneuvering to hoodwink Congress into greater funding by leveraging the UAP angle has ever been made, nor am I aware of any such argument being raised now in light of this newly released information.
