No sensible people should attach stigma to figuring out anomalous sensor reading or trying to classify unknown phenomena. Similarly, no sensible people immediately jump to AlIeNs as a plausible hypothesis, and that should continue to be the case unless and until the evidence actually starts to overcome the priors we have from our understanding of physics, sensor technology, optics, and psychology.

Quite. And yet even in these comments there are people dismissing gathering any data as a waste of time.
