Re:U.S. Fighters About to Get Infrared Sensors That Could Be...

The author made a very good case overall.
More sensors means more measurement, which means more control of time and space, and the further enabling of an outward-looking stance. All of which is going to be of benefit as humanity leans harder on the science of the natural world and begins reaching for new ways to prevent catastrophic wars and disasters and explores space travel options. The more sensors, and the smarter they can operate, the better.
The 20th century was in many ways a huge list of reasons why we shouldn't cocoon ourselves and "not explore" things that are what I call NO-NOs: Next order natural occurrences. Think we know it all, have seen it all, and can predict it all? Nope! And sensors are going to help us navigate and push through to new levels of understanding.
It sounds crazy but there are still influential people in the military affairs community who don't believe we should look into UFOs. Not because they claim they don't exist, but because they claim the tech is too far beyond us, and there's nothing we can do about it! So why try? This is literally their reasoning. For a good example, listen to Lt. Col. Halt USAF (RET) recap his experience at Rendlesham in recent interviews.
This psychology is exactly what will keep us from moving forward and exploring whatever else is really out there. No cover-up conspiracies needed, just plain old heads-down psychology. Keep the world the way it is. You can't argue with the psychology and expect to get anywhere; it is too self-protective. So arguing for more and better sensors is probably the best stance we have right now.
