The UAP phenomenon is much more interesting for what it tells us about ourselves than for the incidents themselves.

Our bias is that our technology is very capable, and that it is used by highly-trained and intelligent people who are up to the task of observing and classifying unknown objects.

But the truth is that we are, in fact, not all that. We grew up in a pre-technological agrarian civilization. We have many biases, particularly observational ones. We still see demons where there is nothing but the natural world.

The images we see are mostly not photographic in nature. They are highly processed data that we impose our millions of years of evolutionary conditioning upon.

We have learned to trust our eyes, over the millennia, to keep us safe from threats.

Now, in truth, we're not using our eyes, but we still think we are.
