I think it's in reality all a bit more mundane than the flashy headline suggests.

UFO secrets are not the same as 'alien' secrets. UFO just means that there is a big list of incursions of us air space that are unidentified.

The reason why it should probably stay secret is that a. it makes it possible for adversaries to know which secret-aircraft they aren't able to identify, and b. give adversaries a way to determine which types of vehicles aren't being detected at all.

I get it you people want to believe, and think its aliens, but it's not aliens.

> “They fetishize their secret society,” one intelligence official told Politico in interviews ahead of tomorrow’s House Intelligence Committee hearings on unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAPs, which is the military’s rebranding of what were previously known as UFOs), the first of its kind since 1966. “It’s kind of a Skull and Bones-type vibe. They take it seriously but they have no accountability. Zero. There is a whole group of us that know in great detail this subject, a lot of which has not been reported to Congress because of security issues.”

Yeah no. It's aliens.
