To be fair, it sounds like you have no knowledge about the history of UAPs. Sightings, crashes and encounters did not start 1947, it goes back hundreds of years and even thousands of years depending on how one interprets the data.

We have extraordinary evidence, this is what is being presented right now, among other things.

> [...] they're lazy enough to get caught a few times here and there. Why would they just watch? Are they really that lazy that they get caught? Surely they know and understand our capabilities. It just doesn't make sense.

Yes, this line of thinking has been presented countless times. I believe everyone's first argument against UAPs or non human intelligence (NHI) is exactly this. There are numerous possible answers to this question, for example:

* The crashed ships are "gifts" for us to examine and learn from

* Sightings and encounters represent the tip of an iceberg, drawing us in to explore to and learn.

* We can create amazing things, sometimes our amazing things break for whatever reason, perhaps that is universal.

* Perhaps what we are witnessing is not NHI specifically visiting us, instead it is a consequence of how the ship moves through space. Perhaps the ships move in and out from what we perceive is our existence, while moving through space.

Point is; the history of UAP is ancient, the documentation and data is statistically significant, the disinformation campaign is insidious and the encounters are world wide.

My suggestion is just to keep an open mind.

"depending on how one interprets the data"

I don't want to keep an open mind when interpreting data. What I want is the exact opposite.

So, yeah. "I want to believe", but I don't want to have to bend my critical thinking in order to do so.
