Lex (Fridman) has been trying for a while in his latest podcasts to invite scientists to investigate the phenomenon. Treat it like any other scientific exploration, with an open mind and led by data and evidence. Evidence of UFOs does not equate necessarily to alien life. This could be a unique natural phenomenon.
I would go further and argue that we have no evidence that aliens are behind UFOs, however, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, so we cannot disprove it either (if 'they' exist, so you have a prior that is > 0).
The most likely explanation (not saying I'm right) most likely as far as I can see is aliens, by a mile. Have you seen what these objects do? How they move. Verified by multiple sources and electronic equipment. Ima stick my neck out and say "wow that looks like aliens!" becuase it does and I don't really care if I turn out to be wrong. Something real, amazing, and not understood is going on. I simply don't understand why everyone hasn't got their jaw on the floor.
Humans have a history of concocting supernatural phenomenon (ghosts, witchcraft, mediums, remote viewing, etc.).
Unfortunately, we’re 0 for X in scientifically proving any of these other worldly claims.
However, in every one of those instances we’ve been presented with a misinterpretation or a lack of information and filled in the blanks with quite fanciful stories that were relevant to the culture of the time period.
I didn't mean it to come across like that. I just think the disinformation has worked. Power told us that the "UFO phenomenon" is a ridiculous conspiracy, humans have little to no defence against something like this and virtually everyone bought it. I'm just desperate for serious science to look at it, that's all. I'm not scoffing at anyone - I understand why this is so difficult to take seriously.
