To be clear, the pentagon for the last 70 years has kept a tight lip on any UFO information, and is only now creating a report after forced compliance.

Even the stuff Harry Reid did a while back was fought against by the pentagon.

Their position seems to be, anything we don't know that is in our airspace is a threat, and none of it is the public's business

The TTSA disclosures of videos were snuck out without going through proper channels, if not exactly fully unofficial. And they did get groused at for that.

But there was a point, I think in late 2019, when they made a very unforced admission that the videos were real. it would have been much more normal and typical of their previous behaviour to just stick to "we can neither confirm nor deny".

And that, in itself, is interesting.
