Let’s agree video authenticated so far isn’t very impressive. How are seemingly intelligent craft in restricted military airspace not a big deal for a thermonuclear nation?

|content=This is a nonsense take from @EricRWeinstein.
It's an interesting story, how the legacy of George Knapp taking Harry Reid to a UFO conference in 1996 cascading into a giant distracting UFO flap in 2021. But it's not the top story in the world.
This will become clear.

|content=Here you present hyperbolic takes. But nobody needs to be lying. Pilots need only rarely to make mistakes (which they do). Sensors need to only occasionally not be perfect. No leapfrogging needs to have occurred if these reports do not resolve to amazing physical objects.

I agree that if there are a small number of rare mistakes it’s not a big deal. I agree that we should have expected some random reports.

|content=The report lists 120 incidents. I expect them all to be very different, representing the range of things that can be unidentified. Some will be mistakes, some equipment issues, some simply low information, some possibly foreign incursions. I doubt any of them have great evidence.

|content=I've *been told* that serious people in the military cringe with embarrassment at this nonsense.
Of course there are more than 120. There's a long tail of low-quality UFO reports. They are not saving the best for later. The stuff in the classified annex is their best shot..

So you believe we have the cream of the crop? If so, it’s shocking that our top people have not shut this down. Total irresponsibility.

I’ve appreciated your take. But laying off the “hyperbole” type epithets: Is this what you are alleging?

|content=Shut what down exactly? The problem here is that there's an intersection between the real issues of unidentified objects and the "Invisible University" folk. They have kind of been NOMA until 2017. We can't shut down real analysis (drones!). But we need to do a lot better.

Playing footsie with a UFO narrative that sounds like “Unknown drones appear to be routinely harassing our pilots in restricted US military airspace.” Is incredibly dangerous.

Yours seems to be a story of incompetent UFO LARPers taking over a sensitive geopolitical narrative with zero adult supervision in thermonuclear geopolitical rivalry. Yes?

|content=Well, that escalated quickly.  No, I don't think they took over a sensitive geopolitical narrative. I think a bit of their woo has leaked into actual deliberations, but the significance has been vastly inflated by the media. The Pentagon has said almost zero on this topic
