Does the report claim all sightings can be definitely explained? The very small percentage that cannot is where efforts should be focused.

Anomalies like to that could lead to really interesting discoveries. Maybe there's a lot we don't know about how plasma forms and behaves, for example.

I find this area really interesting as a pop culture phenomenon. Even Carl Jung weighed in on it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychosocial_UFO_hypothesis

The military, at least, is very interested in being able to identify anything picked up by their sensors. But it's hard for them to publicly acknowledge this stuff because then it means they need to talk about the exact nature of the classified systems which they used to detect whatever the unknown phenomena was.
