For more than 70 years, the Pentagon has done a terrible job investigating UFOs.

It’s time to demilitarize the topic and allow the scientific community to investigate these sightings without government interference.

To date, the only significant progress has been to rename unidentified flying objects. Officials now refer to the anomalies as UAPs — no doubt their goal was to thwart researchers submitting FOIA requests on the subject. This is nothing more that a PR slight-of-hand as now the government admits the existence of UAPs without having to backtrack on UFOs.

Despite a virtual blank check and little oversight, military leaders have failed to explain what these objects are, where these come from or if we are vulnerable to attack. We don’t even know if the anomalies are exotic craft we have developed that the military is testing and scaring the bejesus out of the public. Their assurances ring hollow as the public learns…
