Dr. Steven Macon Greer discusses US government compartmentalization of UAP/ET information and reasons for disclosure.
In my opinion, Dr. Greer's YouTube videos often shed more heat than light. Instead of describing ETs and ETC details, Steve Greer focuses in on classification aspects of ET information.
According to my understanding, Dr. Greer has perhaps hundreds of sources of information on ETs and ET technologies. Why not disclose some data such as HD images of ET spacecraft?

"One thing's for sure, I'll never make fun of people who say they've seen unidentified objects in the sky. If I become President, I'll make every piece of information this country has about UFO sightings available to the public and the scientists."

A UFO spacecraft shell game? by The SETI Nuggets Editor, June 13, 2023.
According to recent interviews by David Grusch, the US Government is reverse engineering crashed and intact alien spacecraft and has possession of deceased ET pilots.
A valid ET discovery would affect several fields of science including: physics, astronomy, biology, genetics, environmental sciences, computer science. and cosmology.
Did the ET vehicles navigate to Earth by circumventing the speed of light? That would disturb Einsteinian physics. Are the ET craft using a propulsion system enabling a free source of energy and new modes of transport?
The US military supposedly has deep underground military bases (DUMBs) where the UFO spacecraft are probably housed.
Now the people involved need to decide if they will make the craft disappear from their known locations leaving the underground warehouses empty.
David Grusch got permission from the Pentagon's document review program, so my guess is the Pentagon decided it is time for UFO disclosure.

Crashed UFOs? Bold claims from a former intelligence official, EarthSky, June 8, 2023
https://earthsky.org/human-world/crashed-ufos-whistleblower-uap/
"On the UFO front, things are taking a wild turn. As The Debrief first reported on June 5, 2023, a former government official named David Grusch is alleging that physical evidence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, otherwise known as UAPs - actual crashed objects - are being illegally withheld from the U.S. Congress."
"Reported testimony on crashed UFOs by Grusch"
"Enter David Grusch. He is 36 years old. He’s a decorated former combat officer who served in Afghanistan. He has worked for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). In addition, he also worked with the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) from 2019-2021. At that time, the Office of Naval Intelligence ran the UAPTF, which was a precursor to today’s larger AARO. According to The Debrief, it was during his two-year stint at the UAPTF, that Grusch began to compile “detailed information” about UFOs."
"Now, according to current reporting, Grusch has provided at least 11 hours of closed-door testimony and classified evidence, under oath, to both the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) and the U.S. Congress."
My Comments
David Grusch testified under oath. He gave the public a glimpse of alien technologies hidden in a parallel universe of US government UAP research.
If Grusch's testimony is true, members of the US House and Senate Intelligence committees were either read out of the crashed ET vehicle retrieval program, or the members of Congress were lied to, or they are lying to the public. AARO said they know nothing about the alien spacecraft retrieved artifacts.
Do I believe Grusch's testimony? On a scale between 0 and 10 with 10 being most believable, I estimate Grusch's testimony at an 8 or 9 of believability. When his co-workers back his testimony that number will go up.

"The United States government has had two official space organizations since 2019: NASA and the U.S. Space Force."
"Both agencies are dedicated to enhancing the nation’s understanding and knowledge about the new frontier, but they each have a very different focus. "
"NASA satellites look at forests, oceans, and other terrain features, tracking the movement of sand dunes and the changing patterns of floodwater and ice cover. The Space Force is interested in specific sites in particular countries."
My Comments
If NASA is using satellites to look at the movement of forests, oceans, and other terrain features it doesn't seem tracking UAPs is part of their mission or ambit of expertise.
Will NASA shift the focus of their space program to tracking UAPs? NASA may nominally be a civilian agency however my bet is their findings will be classified as secret.
I guess the disclosure of UAPs and ETs will be done by citizen scientists.

My Comments
The proposed questions on the NASA dashboard are probably all out of scope for the mission to categorize and evaluate data of future UAP events.
Here are a few of the leading questions currently posted on the NASA dashboard:
1818Upvotes Do we have multi sensor data of objects performing maneuvers that seem truly anomalous? Photos or video as well?
1674Upvotes Has NASA ever cut the live NASA TV feed in order to hide UAP, or any object under its own propulsion? If so, what datetimes?
1627Upvotes Have UAP/UFOs been tracked entering the Earth's atmosphere from space and/or coming out of the oceans/large bodies of water?
1568Upvotes Has NASA discovered the 2 lost boxes containing UAP material from 1965 Kecksburg mentioned in Leslie Kean's 2007 lawsuit?
1386Upvotes Is there any evidence that U.A.P are controlled/created by non human intelligence?
1300Upvotes During the course of space missions, have NASA & NORAD ever communicated regarding potential or confirmed UAP, threat or not?
1267Upvotes Has NASA ever lied to the public regarding UFO topic? If so, provide truthful responses for the three most significant lies.
1246Upvotes Are NASA Astronauts under ANY type of NDA or security clearance (or like) restrictions that forbid them from discussing UAP?
From the 8 most popular public questions, it seems the public is skeptical of NASA's posture on UAPs.
From the perspective of the SETI Nuggets Editor, if asked whether the US military or NASA has overall better resources to detect UAPs I would say probably the military. In my opinion, NORAD sensors detect 24/7/365 spacecraft performing aeronautical maneuvers not within the capability of human built spacecraft.

"Sir Richard Branson's rocket company Virgin Orbit has shut down, just months after a major mission failure."
"The firm's converted jet and leases on properties have been sold for $36m (£29m), just a fraction of the $3.7bn the company was valued at in 2021."
"In March, Virgin Orbit said it would make most of its workforce redundant after failing to secure new investment."
"The California-based firm filed for bankruptcy protection in the US early last month."

I am not sure if the Virgin Galactic company is rolled into the Virgin Orbit shut down. Virgin Orbit did sell off their 747 jet which may be an integral part of the Galactic platform.
Kudos to Sir Richard Branson for starting the venture, and my guess is he will rebuild the Virgin Orbit company because the allure of travel into space is perhaps unquenchable.

Failing to use the best data because it is classified (ie hidden), and assuming as an initial premise what the study group was asked to prove shows an extreme lack of scientific integrity.

"Almost immediately after he joined AATIP in 2008, Elizondo says, he learned that UFOs were not the imaginary conjurings of the tinfoil-hat crowd. “I realized within a couple of meetings that there was something to this,” he says, “that this was real, and there were things coming into our controlled airspace affecting our military pilots, and we had no understanding of what it was."
"For others, by countenancing UAPs, the intelligence official says, “they have to admit that there actually is a legitimate, validated national security threat that they can’t do anything about.” Pentagon officials “always want to control the narrative, and if they can’t, their instinct is to kill it.”
"On October 4, 2017, Elizondo sent his resignation letter to Mattis. He cited “bureaucratic challenges and inflexible mindsets” that prevented Pentagon leadership from evaluating “unusual aerial systems interfering with military weapon platforms and displaying beyond next-generation capabilities.”
"Elizondo says that when challenged by people in the Pentagon, his mindset was: “I will go to the hilt. On speed dial right now, I can be in front of 40 million people in 10 minutes if I want to, and tell the people what I know. I don’t, because I’m trying to let the system work. I don’t want to break it; I want to fix it”- that is, cajole the government into holding itself accountable."

My Comments
Unfortunate setback for the SpaceX Starship. It is intended to carry up to 100 people on long duration flights.
The explosion evokes the Titanic, and the Challenger and Columbia shuttle disasters. In the WSJ video it was bizarre to see the spectators enthusiastically clapping when the Starship blew up.
From the WSJ transcript:
"3:53
this does not appear to be a nominal situation.
3:59
But I do want to remind everyone that everything after clearing the
4:03
tower was icing on the cake."
Conclusion
What is the timeline for SpaceX landing astronauts on the Moon or Mars? Those missions don't appear to be commercially viable even if all profits from deploying Starlight satellites are transferred to the Starship project.
How much would SpaceX have to charge passengers for a ticket on the Starship for transit to the Moon or Mars? If the goal is to build factories in microgravity that could be accomplished in Earth orbit perhaps renting part of the ISS before it is deorbited in 2031.

How can the extent of his knowledge include "anywhere in the universe"?
To what does Elon Musk attribute decades of reports on aliens?
Without rehashing the mountain of evidence on aliens, I will say at this time I respectfully disagree with Elon Musk. I believe with %100 certainty ET life is in communication with humans on Earth.

Discovering Extraterrestrials Offers Benefits, Not An Existential Risk, The Debrief, April 11, 2023
Professor Avi Loeb, Features, in Our Cosmic Neighborhood
https://thedebrief.org/discovering-extraterrestrials-offers-benefits-not-an-existential-risk/
"Moreover, we did not reach them as of yet, and so by reaching us first - they would demonstrate that they are farther along in their technological progress. From a cosmic perspective, they are likely to have benefitted from thousands, millions or even billions of years of scientific progress."
"Given these cosmic circumstances, advanced extraterrestrials would not be threatened by our current scientific knowledge. Our species would look as insignificant as an ant colony in the crack of a pavement appearing to the eyes of a fast biker."
"Since extraterrestrial technologies will likely be far more advanced, we can benefit greatly from encountering them. For that reason, we must proactively search for technological probes near Earth as a learning opportunity about our cosmic neighbors."

The director of NASA Bill Nelson visited NZ and on the 1News interview he described some accomplishments of the Kiwi space program.
Although the title of the YouTube video says "aliens" according to my understanding the NASA director said nothing about aliens. If the subject is mentioned in an interview, Bill Nelson always diverts discourse about UAPs and ETs to something out there, never on or near Earth. In the opinion of the SETI Nuggets Editor, the NASA director is like members of the Flat Earth Society.

Artemis II is a flyby mission, not a lunar landing or an insertion of a crew into lunar orbit. SpaceX also planned a Moon flyby mission but it was scrubbed.
On July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon. The Apollo project ended with Apollo 17 launched in 1972.
Why was there a 50 year gap in the timeline for missions to the Moon?

"Apollo 11 launched from Cape Kennedy on July 16, 1969, carrying Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin into an initial Earth-orbit of 114 by 116 miles. An estimated 650 million people watched Armstrong's televised image and heard his voice describe the event as he took "...one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind" on July 20, 1969".

He told the BBC:"The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race."
"His warning came in response to a question about a revamp of the technology he uses to communicate, which involves a basic form of AI."
My Conclusion
In the opinion of the SETI Nuggets Editor, AIs like all products, need to abide by consumer safety guidelines.
AI presents huge benefits and dangers. For example, automated cars that smash into trees, black box software that is used for biased face recognition, and forensic DNA matching.
Stephen Hawking's warning didn't occur. Shades of Y2K.
AI should be spread around and retreating into a pause is not realistic. I would like an AI to provide solutions to medical diseases in 5 seconds, solve climate change, build improved engines, etc.

There is a new unclassified US governmental assessment of the Havana Syndrome.
The Updated Assessment of Anomalous Health Incidents researched by the US DNI tried to determine if a foreign adversary is responsible for causing the Havana Syndrome, now called: an Anomalous Health Incident. They concluded the AHI was probably not caused by a foreign adversary.
The study did not define the syndrome or shed light on its origin or nature.

Crickets are Probably Not the Cause of the Havana Syndrome, by the SETI Nuggets Editor, February 26, 2023
The Havana Syndrome involves causing brain trauma and targeting of US covert personnel and diplomats. That is not the behavior of crickets.
Are crickets known to cause actual brain trauma or physical, medical concussions? Run a search for crickets on YouTube and you will see many sites providing cricket sounds for sleep and relaxation, not for the Havana Syndrome.
Search [cricket sound sleep]
Are crickets specifically targeting US covert personnel, diplomats and service members? Are crickets targeting diplomats from other countries? Why don't crickets affect diplomats other than Americans and Canadians?
Wikipedia: Reports outside Cuba
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Havana_syndrome
"Beginning in late 2017, suspected attacks targeting U.S. intelligence personnel were reported in an expanding set of locations around the world including Moscow, Russia; Tbilisi, Georgia; Poland; Taiwan; and Australia. Other reports came from Colombia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Austria, among other countries."
Many people around the world live among crickets. Are there reports in newspapers, magazines, and scientific journals of traumatic injuries caused by crickets?
The SETI Nuggets Editor estimates the Havana Syndrome symptoms are not a mass illusion, psychosomatic illness, preexisting medical condition, or crickets.
CNN aired a Special Report Immaculate Concussion: The Truth Behind Havana Syndrome with CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta and other scientists cannot explain the Havana Syndrome. It is like the "Other" bucket in the DoD UAP report. There is something, but scientists do not know what. Maybe the answer is ETs.
The crickets hypothesis can be tested in a controlled scientific study. A volunteer walks into a room with a box of a few dozen crickets and opens the box. See if the volunteer is affected by the Havana Syndrome.
Ask people who work in cricket producing factories if they have experienced the Havana Syndrome symptoms or know of people injured by crickets.

"SETI, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, is deploying machine-learning algorithms that filter out Earthly interference and spot signals humans might miss."
"Going through millions of observations manually isn’t practical. A common alternative approach is to use algorithms that look for signals matching what astronomers think alien beacons could look like. But those algorithms can overlook potentially interesting signals that are slightly different from what astronomers are expecting."
Citizen SETI
"Machine learning is also at the heart of a separate SETI effort that will launch next month. On 14 February, astronomers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), will launch a community-science project in which volunteers from the public will sort through images of radio signals and classify them as potential types of interference."

My Comments
In my opinion, the UCLA SETI Zooniverse classification project should use unsupervised machine learning, not supervised learning.
The categorical labels in Zooniverse supervised learning will limit what can be detected to images similar to those categorized by the volunteers.
If you categorize cats and dogs using supervised learning your model will not find ETs unless they look like cats or dogs. Unsupervised learning can capture clusters of never before detected patterns.

"Approximately two dozen American diplomats in Havana, Cuba, first heard piercing, metallic hissing in 2016. They began experiencing nausea, vertigo, headaches, and other cognitive ailments, but doctors haven't been able to figure out what could be making them sick."
"Theories include the use of sonic weapons launched by hostile foreign actors like Russia. But the CIA has dismissed that idea, saying most cases of "Havana Syndrome" actually stem from other pre-existing medical conditions. Still, they acknowledge that some cases are unexplainable."
My Comments
Below on this web page I opined the cause of the Havana Syndrome is other worldly. The US government treats the syndrome in parallel with their treatment of UAPs.
The US government denies the Havana Syndrome phenomenon exists, or trivializes it calling it crickets chirping, a psychosomatic illness, or the result of pre-existing conditions. I think the syndrome is caused by ETs. A state actor, for example China or Russia, would not target diplomats in a thousand different locations using harmful but non-lethal force. The current governmental theories do not match the facts.

The Sciam post reiterates what many scientists correctly say - more and better data is needed and data should be shared.
SETI protocols that purport to ensure SETI data is widely shared, in fact do the opposite by establishing impossible barriers to widespread distribution harking to the age of Carl Sagan's known meme: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

He is the only person in the federal government to have worked directly on all three of the most recent UFO programs, including one based in Las Vegas."
"One of Stratton’s projects was the creation of a comprehensive but classified briefing that included video of UAP and photos collected by the military. Most of those images remain unreleased. Some were leaked, including pictures of objects encountered on the East coast and buzzing Navy ships on the West coast."

According to an unpublished book by Philip Corso, DoD shares technology derived from UAP craft.

My Comments
Stanford professor Dr Garry Nolan and Ryan Graves, Frmr F-18 Pilot and chair of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) UAP Community of Interest, discussed several topics but mainly they described some useful steps toward making the scientific research of UAPS more acceptable to the academic world.
They are attempting to grow the network of serious people including military and commercial flight crews, scientists, and engineers who agree it is legitimate, useful, and perhaps necessary to study UAPs.
I enjoy hearing Garry Nolan discuss anomalous atomic structures possessed by some metal alloys he acquired that purportedly originated from crashed UAP or from their refuse. In my opinion, the YouTube video missed an elephant in the room. Why didn't Dr Garry Nolan mention the multi-year daily detection of UAPs by Frmr F-18 Pilot Ryan Graves?
Why doesn't someone go to the location where Ryan Graves, and supporting air and ground crew, detected every day for years a formation of hovering UAPs and take some HD pictures or radar images?
HD snapshots of the Gimbal UAP would leapfrog over the multi-year process Gary Nolan describes for entering UAP discoveries into scientific journals.

"Our cover story this month is about one of the most mind-bending searches in science: the attempt to find life as we don’t know it. (Science writer Sarah Scoles proposes the acronym “LAWDKI” for this search.) How do you look for aliens that are profoundly alien to Earthlings? Scientists are figuring out how to scan for life that uses different varieties of DNA or RNA or that doesn’t use genetic sequences at all. Depending on how you define “life,” it could encompass completely different chemistry from our own or molecules that assemble themselves"

It looks like Scientific American's February 2023 edition is devoted to LAWDKI research.
"The Search for Extraterrestrial Life as We Don’t Know It" By Sarah Scoles, Scientific American February 2023 Issue
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-search-for-extraterrestrial-life-as-we-dont-know-it/
"Scientists are abandoning conventional thinking to search for extraterrestrial creatures that bear little resemblance to Earthlings".
"Much of astrobiology research involves searching for chemical “biosignatures”—molecules or combinations of molecules that could indicate the presence of life. But because scientists can’t reliably say that ET life should look, chemically, like Earth life, seeking those signatures could mean we miss beings that might be staring us in the face. “How do we move beyond that?” Johnson asks. “How do we contend with the truly alien?” Scientific methods, she thought, should be more open to varieties of life based on varied biochemistry: life as we don’t know it. Or, in a new term coined here, “LAWDKI.”
LAWDKI, by Rand Simberg December 2, 2010
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/lawdki-rand-simberg/
"So this is a Life As We Didn’t Know It (LAWDKI), and it will change the thinking of exobiologists about where to look for life in the rest of the universe. It will also teach us to broaden our thinking about what life’s requirements really are, which may ultimately help in the development of artificial life."
My Comments
The acronym LAWDKI seems to be in use at least from 2010 according to National Review.
The unexpressed religious interpretation of the term LAWDKI (Lord key) was likely constructed to hint, sotto voce, to other researchers entering the field support for intelligent design.
If LAWDKI was not enough, there is another religion-based term: "New NASA-funded initiative called the Laboratory for Agnostic Biosignatures (LAB)."
Perhaps life will evolve into living AIs that are not biological. Living yes, without agnostic biosignatures.

My Comments
I suppose US Senator Mark Warner's statement is intended to provide a succinct description of AARO objectives which are "all domain" not only military pilot focused. I wonder if ETs would sign off on the Senator's definition of "all domain". How about multi-dimensional, or time traveling ETs? Air crew UAP reports is a good place to start.

"And that includes "a craft which I believe at some point we have obtained some materials that are not of this world that are being studied by different members of industry I've been told," he said."
"Later on in the segment, the Tennessee Republican alleged there was a "huge cover-up, for whatever reason," adding that "America is ready to know, and stop with all the shenanigans."
My Comments
I think member of Congress Tim Burchett has the information to back his allegations.
Why do politicians lie so much?
Politicians lie because they can get away with it. Public knowledge about ET manufactured spacecraft and ETs would change forever the fields of science in physics, biology, and other disciplines.
All school textbooks, at all levels, would have to be changed to reflect this new knowledge. The ET cover-up is the largest lie in world history.

Harvard Physicist Avi Loeb Says We Shouldn't Ask U.S. Gov. For Data On UFOs, TMZ, January 14, 2023
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAp7h9NeCOg
My Comments
Regarding Avi Loeb's YouTube comments, I believe utilizing multiple data sources, including governmental, is the optimal research strategy. At some point, the civilian AIAA UAP group will get enough strong data to establish proof of Gimbal and Tic Tac ET spacecraft.
My estimate is NORAD detects ET spacecraft exhibiting nonuman technology 24/7/365. I believe this information is disclosed to Congress in the classified version of the UAP report but is obscured by narrowing the definion of ET behavior.
In fact, former US President Obama has been on the news describing spacecraft showing unexplainable trajectories. However that data, is considered "Other" not ET.
Perhaps there is a need to establish an intelligent and synchronized definition of what facts should constitute something as ET in origin.
My opinion is spacecraft that can hover for hours, and perform 90 and 180 instantaneous turns, are manufactured by ETs. They pass the ET "Duck Test". If DNI does not classify spacecraft exhibiting non-human behavior as from ETs they are in my opinion moving the goal posts.

Office of DNI 2022 Annual Report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, 2023
https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/Unclassified-2022-Annual-Report-UAP.pdf
DNI released its annual UAP report to Congress as a classified report and an unclassified version for the public.
My Comments
The unclassified report says many UAP cases remain unresolved, but most UAPs can be explained as unmanned aircraft systems, balloons, and clutter.
This is the second unclassified public UAP report issued by DNI. The report tells of more drones, weather balloons, and clutter.
The information gathered from all types of military sensors is always going to be classified. Non-military science and reports from commercial airline crew will likely produce evidence of other worldly ET manufactured spacecraft.

Someone should go there, to the location specified by Frmr F-18 Pilot Ryan Graves in his AIAA and other presentations, rent a Cessna, and snap a few high quality pictures of ET produced UAPs. Instead, research organizations want to dredge the ocean for millimeter size interstellar meteor samples, or using radio telescopes detect series of prime numbers sent by communicative ETs.

UK space mission fails after rocket 'anomaly', BBC, January 9, 2023

"The first UK rocket taking satellites into space has suffered an anomaly spelling an end to the mission. Virgin Orbit said it was evaluating the information and would share more information when it could. The mission saw a repurposed 747 jumbo jet release the LauncherOne rocket over the Atlantic to take nine satellites high above the Earth."
"Engine didn't reach required orbit - UK Space Agency"
"Matt Archer, the UK space agency launch program director, has told journalists in Newquay he's disappointed but proud of what the mission achieved."
"The second stage engine had a technical anomaly and didn't reach the required orbit," he said. He didn't give any more explanation for the failure."
"Virgin Orbit and the UK government will now investigate the cause of the problem, he says."
"We'll dust ourselves off and we'll go again. This is what space is about - it is hard," he said."
"Gasps of 'oh no' when the news came"
"We were all glued to the livestream in the media centre - after the rocket was dropped and the engines ignited it all looked like it was going so well."

Why The DNI UAP Report for 2022 Has Not Been Released? by the SETI Nuggets Editor, January 9, 2023
The UAP report required by the 2022 Defense Bill mandated the DNI provide an annual declassified update and a classified annex by Oct. 31 of every year through 2026.
Last year's classified UAP report for 2022 has not been released to Congress and the unclassified version has not been made public. Speculating on the 2022 report's absence using Goldilocks' reasoning there may not be enough new UAP data to publish, or there may be too much UAP data. Perhaps there is a happy medium.
Other reasons, possibly the ETs have captured the authors of the 2022 report. See, The Havana Syndrome. Another possibility, release of a banal 2022 report may encourage a global, and perhaps conflicting, show of disclosure reports.
The SETI Nuggets editor believes disclosure is the best solution, and rejects the Orwellian dystopian meme: "Ignorance is strength".

Space The missing plan for alien first contact, BBC, November 2, 2022
https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20221101-should-extraterrestrial-life-be-granted-sentient-rights
"According to many of our cultural touchstones, there’s only one thing for it if extraterrestrials ever take a cosmic detour to our planet: heavy artillery fire."
"But from the sugary 1980s blockbuster ET the Extra-Terrestrial and the decades of Star Trek episodes to the books of Isaac Asimov and Ursula K Le Guin, science fiction writers have long wrangled with the question: how would we really treat them?"
"In popular culture, extraterrestrials are often cast as second-class citizens or less than human. If it weren't for the intervention of ET's human friend, the titular alien would have been cut open on an operating room table."
"Writers don't seem to have too much hope that humans would treat aliens very well. Perhaps that’s because our track record of affording rights to the inhabitants of this planet, human or otherwise, has been so poor throughout history, despite the international legal conventions supposedly safeguarding them."
"Some ethicists are already considering how the rights of a completely unfamiliar alien species would fit into our legal and ethical frameworks. But there's been little in the way of open international discussion around aliens. A question was raised at a United Nations General Assembly session in 1977 by the prime minister of Grenada, Eric M Gairy, who believed UFO sightings may have been signs of hostile extraterrestrial life on our planet, and suggested establishing an official investigation body through the UN. But no policy was adopted, and he was pressed to drop the topic by British diplomats, before being deposed in a coup the following year."
"Some governments are taking an interest though. Back in 1999, journalist Leslie Kean was leaked a French dossier on UFOs showing generals and admirals believed the unexplained phenomena could potentially be extraterrestrial. Earlier this year, for the first time in decades, the US Congress publicly debated what to do about these mysterious flying objects, although there's no evidence they're of extraterrestrial origin."
My Comments
ETs who have sojourned from the stars to Earth should be treated as high-ranking visiting royalty with appropriate pomp and circumstance. I agree with the BBC post there should be a well thought out declaration of rights for visiting ETs, perhaps called: 'The ET Protocols'.

Perhaps the DNI already released a classified 2022 UAP report to Congress but as of November 14 they have not released an unclassified version for the public. All data acquired by the military is captured by military sensors so it is likely all of their information is classified.
My estimate is NORAD detects UAPs exhibiting other-worldly data 24/7/365. NORAD is of course a classified platform so all the public will hear from NORAD are the hoof beats of Santa Claus' reindeer and the jingle bells of Santa's sleigh.
Commercial airline pilots and air crew are beginning to go on record describing their strange encounters with UAPs. Now the stigma of reporting UAPs has been lifted, it is likely air crew will substantiate the existence of ET manufactured UAPs.

Government UFO report timed for Halloween seems to downplay spooky sightings, Think, NBCNews, November 1, 2022
"Right in time for Halloween, U.S. intelligence agencies were due on Monday to deliver a classified progress report on UFOs to Congress, with an unclassified summary of the report expected to be posted online later this week. Earlier this month, NASA also announced the 16 members of its new unclassified independent team, consisting of prominent scientists, an astronaut and a science journalist, to look at the phenomenon from “a scientific perspective.”
"It’s particularly frustrating that NASA seems to be drawing its conclusions before even really getting started. In its tweet announcing the UAP panel members 10 days ago, NASA declared: “There is no evidence supporting the idea that UAP are extraterrestrial in origin.” This statement seems to prematurely signal its conclusions so no one will be surprised when the final report repeats the same finding."
"Meanwhile, the headline of a New York Times article on Friday based on what it said was classified information from the intelligence report read, “Many Military U.F.O. Reports Are Just Foreign Spying or Airborne Trash.”
My Comments
The classified and public UAP reports should be published this week and we will see what the unclassified report includes.
In my opinion, finding information about ETs and UAPs should be done by civilians not the military or NASA. The DoD and NASA organizations consider the study of UFOs to be their turf.
They have more inconclusive UAP categories than a juggler has balls. Now they opine the UAPs are nations spying on the US. It seems to me spying nations would act in secret instead of buzzing military facilities. Did the historical U2 flights perform donuts or other aerodynamic tricks?
Regarding the Airborne Trash UAP classification bucket, there is an ever increasing amount of space junk, orbiting debris, and radar clutter producing false signals. Airborne trash doesn't refer to radar clutter, instead it means there is trash flying around maneuvering in the skies, not dropping like a stone.

From the Twining memo in which the predecessor of NASA was read into the information on the flying discs, to contemporary recording of UAPs on multiple military grade sensors there is an abundance of scientific facts showing UAPs are flying in US airspace exhibiting flight characteristics not reproducible by any aircraft in the US inventory.
If a UAP flies at a high Mach speed and suddenly hovers in place, or performs a sharp 180 or 90 degree turn most people would consider that evidence of an ET manufactured aircraft.
In my opinion, military and civilian aviators will prove non-humans are piloting ET manufactured spacecraft in US airspace before NASA completes its just now embarked UFO study. I also have reasons to believe NASA has hard evidence of ETs that is classified, for example:

The aviators in the fighter squadrons that detected the UFOs did not interact with them as friends or foes. Friends they would have forced to land and foes they would have blown out of the sky.
Did the fighters try to engage with the UAPs in other ways or did they watch as the UFOs flew in stationary and racetrack patterns for hours?
Ryan's partial reveal is great but he does not want to use the label ET instead he uses the term nonhuman intelligence. I have seen several YouTube interviews about Ryan Grave's UFO sightings and I think he is relating the truth.
Many of Ryan's aviator colleagues who also have seen the UFOs when flying in that restricted area should back him up with public statements, unless they believe the Orwellian meme: "ignorance Is Strength".
At some time it will be shown that US presidents from Jimmy Carter, perhaps earlier, to Mr Biden have lied to the US public about the existence of UFOs.

UNCERTAINTY IN ESTIMATES OF THE NUMBER OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL CIVILIZATIONS

by Stanford Professor Peter Sturrock, 1980.
https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19800014518/downloads/19800014518.pdf
This is an excerpt of a 1980 research project by Stanford Professor Peter Sturrock. I'm including it here in SETI Nuggets because it references several times the concept "Galactic Federation". The terminology made it into the public by interviews and a book by an Israeil General Chaim Eshed. The astrophysicists in this Sturrock research document consider a Galactic Federation a hypothetical data structure unproven to exist.
The excerpt below opines that advanced civilizations may use a communication technology that can send messages faster than light and therefore may opt out using ordinary radio waves for interstellar communication. This theory can be considered another answer to the Fermi Paradox, Where are all the aliens?
Excerpt from Sturrock pdf:
"However, if scientists are instead attempting to assess the likelihood that a contemplated search may be successful, or if they are trying to compare the prospects of success of two or more strategies, then we must face the possibility that civilizations much more advanced than our own (more advanced perhaps by many millions of years) may use communication technologies far superior to those we know, based on physical principles of which we are now utterly ignorant."
"This concept will be described in shorthand form as the proposition that there exists a "hyperphysics" of which we are now ignorant. As one possibility, this hypothesis would include the case that our familiar four-dimensional space-time is really a section of a hyperspace, and that it is possible to obtain access to other sections of this hyperspace by technological means. Since our known laws of physics refer only to the familiar four-dimensional space, we have no reason to believe that familiar limitations of travel time, etc., would have any relevance to such a hyperspace."
"Clearly, if an advanced civilization discovers a way to send messages at speeds much greater than the speed of light radio waves would not be used for interstellar communication."

Immaculate = No known earthly cause.
Concussion = Real physical, medical concussion.
In my opinion, there are two ways to understand the above contradiction:
1. There is a real physical cause of the Havana Syndrome that scientists currently cannot explain. That's like the "Other" bucket in the DoD UAP report. There is something, but scientists do not know what.
2. There is no Havana Syndrome, it's actually a mass illusion, psychosomatic illness, preexisting medical condition, or crickets. This line of reasoning would not explain the targeted nature of the symptoms, according to CNN: " Impacting US covert personnel, diplomats and service members around the globe".

Lex asked Professor Nick Lane for his answer to the well-known Fermi paradox. They started a discussion on the improbability of bacteria evolving into intelligent life.

Fermi's paradox asked, Why don't we have signs ETs are visiting Earth? Fermi's paradox did not ask for details explaining the evolutionary path from biological cells to intelligent life.
There is, as Lex knows, a growing amount of reliable evidence demonstrating there are ET spacecraft flying in Earth's airspace. Fermi's Paradox is close to being solved by proving the existence of ET manufactured UAPs.

Frank Drake Has Died Sept 2, 2022
Wikipedia: "Frank Drake made significant radio studies of the planets and was notably involved in the first search for extraterrestrial intelligence, including the founding of SETI, mounting the first observational attempts at detecting extraterrestrial communications in 1960 in Project Ozma, developing the Drake equation, and as the creator of the Arecibo message, a digital encoding of an astronomical and biological description of the Earth and its lifeforms for transmission into the cosmos."
"The Drake equation is a probabilistic argument used to estimate the number of active, communicative extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy."
Frank Drake, astronomer famed for contributions to SETI, has died, Sept 2, 2022, Arstechnica
My Comments
Anyone who studies astronomy or more specifically SETI comes across the famous Drake Equation. I wonder what thoughts visiting ETs have on the equation? In my opinion, the Drake equation is properly respected but also causes some astronomers to acquire an Einstellung perspective on UAPs and other possible ET artifacts on or close to Earth.

MW Interview with Dr. Travis Taylor, Mystery Wire, May 28, 2022
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f98s0dt2oS0&ab_channel=MysteryWire
Dr. Travis Taylor describes from his personal experience individuating of radiation exposure. He was exposed to radiation as measured by his radiation detector, from no obvious source, while people a few feet away from him were not.
See the Mystery Wire YouTube video from 4:30 / 20:13 to 6:40 / 20:13.
As pure speculation, maybe the Skinwalker Ranch phenomena can explain the Havana Syndrome. To reiterate, if the data source was not Dr. Travis Taylor, or someone with his science and military credentials, I would brush aside his narrative.
The Skinwalker Ranch radiation phenomena may show how the Havana Syndrome is caused. The implications are ETs have conquered Earth, past tense.
This 60 minutes news segment appears to rule out a foreign adversary as the cause of the Havana Syndrome.
"Havana Syndrome stumps investigators as U.S. officials report injuries on White House grounds."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1meGH0Dts9M&ab_channel=60Minutes
The Skinwalker Ranch microwave and radiation exposure individuating people by job description, and having no apparent causal source appears to fit the data of the Havana Syndrome.
It's unlikely a person would rent an apartment above or below a target and shoot microwaves through the floor or ceiling because renting an apartment would leave a trail of evidence. If the microwave device ran from a vehicle, batteries in the trunk, there's a chance the shooter gets stopped or captured on surveillance cameras. A shooter who is a state actor would likely not be involved in a thousand incidents.

"Presented by Ross Coulthart and his friend and colleague Bryce Zabel, NEED TO KNOW is a show that gives you the latest news and analysis about what they suspect will soon turn out to be the biggest story ever, the emerging astonishing revelations about UAPs – Unidentified Aerial Phenomena - what some folk have long called UFOs".
"Ross and Bryce embarked on a road trip of the US, speaking with credible experts and insiders for this documentary."
"Hear from Ryan Graves, the former US Navy advanced fighter pilot, whose testimony to Congressmen and Senator in closed door hearings in Congress has been key in waking politicians up to the reality that this phenomenon, whatever it is, is a potential national security threat and a real danger to flight safety."
"Investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell shares insights on secrets he believes the US government is hiding."
"Ross and Bryce also went UAP hunting with investigator Ben Hansen, in an area renowned for sightings."
"Ross also sits down for an incredible interview with Professor Garry Nolan."
"Garry is a Stanford University professor, an internationally renowned immunologist, who has recently been nominated for a Nobel Prize. He’s also been involved in secret work for the CIA investigating illnesses suffered by military and intelligence personnel who’ve had damaging close-up experiences with UAPs."
My Comments
Stanford University Professor Garry Nolan provides great information on his personal encounters with ETs. If you watch Garry Nolan's interview it would be difficult for an honest person to deny the existence of ETs. Professor Garry Nolan also believes the US Government has a UFO crash recovery group that is classified.

Are aliens dangerous? | Ryan Graves and Lex Fridman, Lex Clips, August 4, 2022
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTaPVYsqm-E&ab_channel=LexClips
Are ETs a threat to humans? If ETs have lived on Earth for hundreds or thousands of years, the ETs might consider humans to be intruders.
There is no reason to assume the number of ET civilizations interacting with humans is zero or many. Some ET civilizations interacting with Earth may be friendly and others foes. It is unlikely ET enemies can be stopped by humans if the ETs want to conquer Earth.
With ETs detected by former lieutenant Ryan Graves and his team daily, the fact no shots were fired at the ET craft flying in restricted airspace shows the ET craft were not terrestrial adversaries, or they would have been forced to land.

"other people who were in on these bodies going to the morgue and all that. Some grave digger from the funeral home or what ever."
The USAF pdf says:" other people who were in on these bodies."
It does not say, other people who were in on these weather balloons, or project Mogul, or flocks of birds. It says people who were in on these bodies.
The official US government position on the Roswell incident is balloons and pieces of balsa wood crashed on a meadow.
The official report did not say there were bodies. The AF says no bodies were recovered. Deflated weather balloons or classified pieces of the Mogul project do not have to be taken to a morgue.

Congress Votes to Improve UFO Disclosure, National Review, July 18, 2022

"The House of Representatives voted unanimously to “create a secure government system for reporting UFOs and to compel current and former officials to reveal what they might know about the mysterious phenomena by promising to protect them from reprisal."
They say bipartisanship is impossible today. Well, this measure passed unanimously as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, and was co-sponsored by congressional UFO - excuse me, UAP - enthusiast Mike Gallagher (R., Wis.) and Ruben Gallego (D., Ariz.). D.C. may remain riven by partisan animosity, but some things rise above politics."
"Gallagher argues that there are national-security implications. He claims that his “primary interest . . . is to ensure that our military and intelligence community are armed with the best possible information, capital, and scientific resources to defeat our enemies and maintain military and technology superiority."
"The hope is that easier mechanisms for reporting sightings of unexplained objects, as well as liberating former natsec personnel from non-disclosure agreements, will enhance the gathering of information about this abiding mystery."
My Comments
As an occasional reader of National Review, I find the title of this article unusual: "Congress Votes to Improve UFO Disclosure".
Apparently it is now beyond doubt UAPs are flying in US airspace.
What are they? Who manufactured them? Do they have a pilot and crew? Are they biological organisms, computers, or cyborgs? Are all UAPs manufactured by the same ET civilization? What is their intent?
For more information: Think Like An ET.
Conclusion
If this "liberating former natsec personnel from non-disclosure agreements" actually takes place, I believe the personnel will release HD video recordings of ET piloted spacecraft.

NASA's search for UAPs, by the SETI Nuggets editor, July 10, 2022
NASA's position on the question are we alone in the universe is sketchy. NASA acts like a person who enters a room that contains an elephant and is asked if there is an elephant in the room.
For most people that would be an easy question but not for NASA.
In my opinion, NASA would answer the question with one or more of these ripostes:
That elephant is unidentified, it needs to be labeled: "I am an elephant." Otherwise, what seems to be an elephant may be an optical illusion, an anomalous weather pattern, swamp gas, or an observation balloon.
There is not enough data. Science needs a repeatable experiment or else it is not real science. The scientific method requires that you create a second elephant. If you cannot do that you have no elephant.
There is a growing number of military and civilian aviators who have captured UAP data by observation, and with aircraft and ground-based sensors. They have detected UAP data with otherworldy properties. Occam's razor and the law of parsimony say the data has a terrestrial origin.
The elephant in the room must be determined by entirely new data. There is a compelling need for real scientists to examine the data and then start from a tabula rasa.
My Comments
Otherworldly facts may be described something like this: The facts are best explained by science that is not known or understood by terrestrial scientists.
Note: My suggested verbiage is more accurate than using an 'Other' category. It still maintains a silence regarding using the 'E' word (ET), and is a measured step toward disclosure.

My Comments by the SETI Nuggets editor:
Have fun at this year's Roswell UFO Festival 2022!
I believe I have debunked, shown to be false, the narrative the Roswell incident was the result of a weather balloon or project Mogul.
The facts that convinced me there was a UFO crash in Roswell starts with the 1) DoD YouTube National Archives film interview of military base mortician, W. Glenn Davis (or Dennis) who described the alien cadavers, the 2) Sheridan transcript in the USAF 994 page pdf in a text dialog refers to a civilian "grave digger" who was "in on the bodies". The Sheridan transcript corroborates the film interview of the mortician W. Glenn Davis.
The DoD interview of military base mortician, W. Glenn Davis was classified from 1947 to 1987, forty years. That interview was not available to the public until 1987. The USAF 994 page pdf was not published until 1995.
See: Area 51 Uncensored .
US Government source files:
1) "The Roswell Report Fact versus Fiction In the New Mexico Desert pdf", by the US Air Force, 1995.
USAF Roswell debunking pdf: https://media.defense.gov/2010/Dec/01/2001329893/-1/-1/0/roswell-2.pdf
The US Air Force wrote a 994 page report "debunking" the theories of Roswell UFOs and dead ET cadavers.
2) US DoD interview of AFB mortician in the National Archives
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DA-g94Ro1I&ab_channel=USNationalArchives"
Summary
The DoD interview of military base mortician, W. Glenn Davis in 1947 is supported by the Sheridan transcript text released to the public in 1995. Connect the dots between the mortician's DoD interview and the text in the Sheridan transcript in the US Air Force 994 page report.

Until this June 24, 2022 YouTube was published 'Not just a TV scientist: Dr. Travis Taylor's deep roots with NASA, DoD' I more or less ignored shows about the Skinwalker ranch's phenomena. The main reason has been the occurrences are local to the ranch so access is limited to people with permission to examine the scientific facts.
Now with Dr. Travis Taylor's UAP Task Force credentials revealed, I've taken a fresh look at the paranormal effects and I find Dr. Travis Taylor's observations to be credible.
In my opinion, if there is not much apparent value on the surface of the ranch, that leaves three possibilities: Something is underground, there is something in the skies above the ranch, or the ranch intersects another dimension.

"Las Vegas (KLAS) — Dr. Travis Taylor is well known to viewers of the History Channel television programs Ancient Aliens and The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch. But he doesn’t merely play a scientist on TV."
"Taylor’s scientific credentials are impressive, which helps explain why he was chosen by the Pentagon to act as chief scientist for the UAP Task Force, formally created by Congress to fully investigate military encounters with advanced, unknown aircraft and objects."
"Taylor boasts a doctorate in aerospace systems engineering, a doctorate in optical science and engineering, a master’s degree in physics, a master’s degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering and a master’s degree in astronomy."
"With a 20-year career supporting NASA, the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command and other customers, Taylor is an accomplished writer. He has written two textbooks, over 15 papers and 21 science fiction novels. He has worked on classified programs for the Department of Defense for more than 20 years and has earned the trust of the U.S. Army and NASA."

"Dr. Travis Taylor had access to classified information, and he knows how the UAP Task Force made decisions on how to rule out certain prosaic explanations for unknown objects encountered by the U.S. military."

UAP behaviors that defy the laws of known physics are for most people a convincing measure of an object's ET origin. For example, the Tic Tacs in the Nimitz Carrier Group incident on the US West coast and the UAPs detected on the East coast every day for years according to Frmr F-18 Pilot, Ryan Graves.
The best source of UFO data is probably NORAD, not the occasional UAPs buzzing military aircraft or bases. Obviously, NORAD's data and analysis will be classified but NORAD's radars and myriad of sensors are probably picking up ET manufactured UAPs 24/7/365.

Former US President was asked by a late night show musician his opinion on the objects that seem to defy laws of physics. The president answered he does not know but when he was in office he sent an advisor to Area 51.
My Comments
Strange Bill Clinton would investigate the 1947 Roswell incident which took place about 45 years before he became president in 1993. Clinton had access to all of the US secrets, it is not believable to me Bill Clinton's search methodology was to send a person to Roswell. He could have asked for information about UAPs from anyone in the Pentagon.
What provable remembrances could Clinton find 45 years after the purported crash in Roswell? A few old timers playing a game of checkers on some terrace, a half empty barber shop, a greasy spoon diner? In my estimate, Clinton is prevaricating again which got him impeached by the US Congress for lying about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
Conclusion
I found proof of aliens in the Roswell crash some time ago. See, Area 51 Uncensored. The Roswell AFB mortician, a civilian, was in on the alien bodies and this is corroborated in a transcript in this document: USAF Roswell debunking pdf: https://media.defense.gov/2010/Dec/01/2001329893/-1/-1/0/roswell-2.pdf

US Senator Marco Rubio says unequivocally there are UAPs buzzing US military bases.
Will NASA's UAP study ignore relevant facts in NASA administrator Bill Nelson's classified UAP briefing and Senator Marco Rubio's TMZ airport interview?
Bill Nelson was a Florida US Senator and Marco Rubio is a current Florida US Senator. Will they have opposing views on UAPs and their origin?
A tale of two Senators, when scientific views collide. My bet is Marco Rubio's version is correct and NASA's is wrong. Since the Twining Memo in 1947 the US government, for example NACA which is on the general Twining memo distribution list, has known about ET manufactured UAPs. See: The Twining Memo.
For reasons I cannot fathom, there has been a concerted and persistent attempt to cover up the facts about the existence of ETs flying in US airspace. Is NASA jealous of the Tic Tac technology? Do Tic Tacs threaten aerospace industrial vested interests? Are ETs the bane of entrenched religious beliefs?
My hope is Fox News continues their exploration and searches for the truth about UAPs and their origins.

"Fridman is a research scientist and lecturer at MIT. His work at MIT involves research into human-centered artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicle research, deep learning, and personal robotics."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Hanson
"Robin Hanson is an associate professor of economics at George Mason University and a research associate at the Future of Humanity Institute of Oxford University."
My Comments
Lex Fridman conjectures about ET behavior with Robin Hanson. They take guesses about the probability and motives of ETs who may be colonizing or expanding in the universe. In this Lex Fridman clip, there is no mention about Fermi's paradox and various hypothetical probe theories concerning ET exploration or colonization.

Congressman Mike Gallagher Presses DoD on UAPs, May 17, 2022
https://gallagher.house.gov/media/press-releases/gallagher-presses-dod-uaps
Mike Gallagher is the US Congressman representing Wisconsin’s 8th District since 2017. He participated in the May 17, 2022 UAP hearing.
The Congressman posted part of the UAP hearing transcript here:
https://gallagher.house.gov/media/press-releases/gallagher-presses-dod-uaps
This text is from Congressman Gallager's official website;
"Rep. Gallagher: So you're not aware of anything in between Project Blue Book and AATIP?
Moultrie: I'm not aware of anything that's official that was done in between those two- hasn't been brought to my attention.
Rep. Gallagher: Okay. Additionally, are you aware of any other DoD or DOD contract programs focused on UAPs from a technological engineering perspective? And by that, I mean, are you aware of any technology initiatives focused on this topic? Other than initiatives focused on the individual case in that investigations?
Moultrie: I'm not aware of any contractual programs that are focused on anything related to this other than what we are doing in the Navy Task Force, and what we are about to launch in terms of our effort.
Rep. Gallagher: Same question for you, Mr. Brown?
Bray: Same answer, not aware of anything outside what we are doing in the UAP task force.
Rep. Gallagher: So just to confirm, you're not aware of any technology or engineering resources that have been focused on these efforts, besides what we've mentioned today.
Bray: Once again, I'll say no contractual or programmatic efforts that are involved."
Continues...
Rep .Gallagher: Okay. This is a document in which again, I'm not commenting on the veracity, I was hoping you would help me with that. In which the former head of DIA claims to have had a conversation with the Doctor Eric Wilson, claims to have sort of been made aware of certain contractors or duty programs, that he tried to get full access to and was denied access to. So you're not aware of that?
Moultrie: I'm not aware of that, Congressman.
Rep. Gallagher: In my 10 seconds remaining, then I guess I just would ask, Mr. Chairman, unanimous consent to enter that memo into the record.
Chairman: Without objection
Rep. Gallagher: Thank you, Mr Chairman.
Congressman Gallagher posted the EW memo on the US Congressional website May 17, 2022:
https://www.congress.gov/117/meeting/house/114761/documents/HHRG-117-IG05-20220517-SD001.pdf
My Comments
The memo appears to be from 2002 quite some time ago. I posted it only to show Congressman Gallagher believes the US government has many more UAP projects than they say in the recent hearings.
I have no estimate about the memo's authenticity or contents. The public will know the truth if Congressman Gallagher follows up on the issues raised in the memo.

NASA to Discuss New Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Study Today, NASA, June 9, 2022
https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-to-discuss-new-unidentified-aerial-phenomena-study-today
My Comments
In my opinion, aircraft that fly at very high Mach speed, stop and make 90-degree turns, dive 10's of thousands of feet in seconds, and accelerate instantly have ET origins.
What will be sufficient for NASA to say an object is from ETs, not humans? Do they want classical saucers, with chaser lights, playing tones of music?
NASA claims there's a paucity of observations, but DoD officially says they have data on 400 verified UAPs. Four-hundred data points is a copious amount, and a former F-18 pilot says he detected UAPs almost every day for years. I can't imagine his ground crew did not store sensor records.

Physicist Michio Kaku on the Shift in the UFO Phenomenon, June 9, 2022
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YebZyAzLZuc&ab_channel=PowerfulJRE
Joe Rogan and Michio Kaku discuss UAPs and ETs in a fascinating new interview.
Michio Kaku is a professor of theoretical physics in the City College of New York and CUNY Graduate Center.
Dr. Kaku, as a well-known physicist, easily debunks the idea an ET civilization would necessarily understand physics at a level similar to Earth's scientists.
He opines the tic tacs might be built by an ET civilization who are 100k years ahead of Earths scientists knowledge of physics.
Michio Kaku said: "Then the next question is what type do you have to be to harness the Planck energy the energy at which space and time become unstable where wormholes may develop gateways through space and time portals, through empty space, you have to be type 2 or most likely type 3."
"Then the next question is how long will it take before you become type 3? Well we are maybe a hundred years away from being type one we're maybe a few thousand years from being from type two and we're maybe a hundred thousand years from being type three and a hundred thousand years is nothing on a galactic scale."

U.S. Congress To Hold More UAP Hearings Here’s Why w/ Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, June 6, 2022
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1W_Jdf_ATY&ab_channel=EventHorizon
Raja Krishnamoorthi is a member of the US Congress representing the Illinois 8th district. He serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Congressman Krishnamoorthi was interviewed by the Event Horizon on the topic of UAPs. The congressman attended the classified May 17, 2022 briefing that followed the publc session. The interviewer asked if there was anything Raja could say about the classified briefing and this is the congressman's verbatim answer:
"It was interesting, or more interesting than the open briefing. It was fascinating I have to say I have not been to hearings like that in my 6 years in congress and arguably there haven't been hearings like that for 50 years so it was really an incredible set of hearings."
My Comments
The congressman gave an intelligent answer. At least he didn't attribute UAPs to weather balloons or faulty radar and other aircraft sensors.
Clearly, UAPs are now a focus of mainstream governmental and scientific review. I am looking forward to the US government opening a warehouse that contains ET manufactured interstellar spacecraft.
