"Sean Illing: What’s the Occam’s razor explanation for these UFO sightings?

Alexander Wendt: To me, the Occam’s razor explanation is ETs."

This guy really wants aliens to exist, and/or he doesn't understand what Occam's razor is. The simplest solution is that the things in the sky that we cannot identify are star-faring craft built by otherworldly beings...?

The navy videos are weird, don't get me wrong, but it seems like such a jump to say 'alien lifeforms in spaceships are the most likely cause.'

If you believe the pilots testimony what else could it be? Some sort of super advance technology being held secret by a government?

Star-faring craft built by otherworldly beings seems a pretty simple explanation. Getting people to accept that is the complicated part.

I think the global sky survey non-profit is a good idea and could have secondary benefits beyond UFO studies. One of the tricks with this is to have a network of sites set up so that motion at one triggers others, so you can get multi-point tracks. This allows you to compute ranging, size, dynamics, etc. You can track satellites, comets, space debris, find illegal drones... I'd support it...

We just waisted a couple trillion dollars on sci-fi capabilities at Lockheed without result shall we let China & Russia know we didn't find anything in our R&D?

No just send them some sketchy UFO videos that will keep m busy!
