Evidence of what though? My problem is with the unfounded claims/implications/hype/grift that it might be aliens. There are lots of interesting nonmagical explanations for the reported phenomena, that we should absolutely pin down. These distinctions matter.

The problem is that there's a whole conspiratorial ecosystem which has been thriving on the news/testimony.

People use the word conspiracy to imply "obvious bullshit", but sometimes there are real conspiracies, and this might be one.
