I don't think you believe in UFOs, I think you lack an appropriate amount of cynicism around areas of science in which you aren't a scholar. "It was little green men" has been the go-to explanation for American experimental military aircraft since like 1943. You can pretty much time aviation skullduggery around alien lore.

Foo fighters = XP-59A

Roswell crash = Project Mogul

Project Blue Book = U-2/A-12 development

Hangar 18/Alien Autopsy = Have Blue/F117A

Here's the thing. There's a lot of public stuff from the '90s that's still unexplained. donuts-on-a-rope contrails, weird acoustic signatures picked up on seismographs, strange observations over the North Sea.

Boeing even has some seriously suspect, recently declassified advertising art. So I'm all about unexplained shit?

But in my armchair, enthusiast opinion this is dudes going "okay let's figure out what the sensors are imagining" for the defense department on the downlow.
