This renewed interest in UFOs – excuse me, “UAPs” – is honestly pretty fascinating.

It’s clear that a nontrivial amount of UFO reports over the years have been “real” in the sense that there was really something there to be seen, but I’d figure most do have a completely mundane explanation – anything from prototype aircraft to weather balloons (har har.) Then there’s a few that seem to completely defy explanation, which is the fascinating part. Lately there’s been more official clips released, so it seems like it’s not quite as taboo of a subject and likely to kill your career as a pilot or whatever as it has been.

      Yup. I love Avi Loeb because he’s one of the few well respected scientists that won’t straight up dismiss the possibility of something being of extraterrestrial or non-human origins. Which, IMO, is how science should handle cases like this. Leave all possibilities open until science points in a certain direction. I highly recommend listening to his appearances on the Event Horizon podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@EventHorizonShow/search?query=Avi Loeb
