They (the U.S. Gov't) have to talk about it because they, themselves, committed the original sin way back in 1946 when the Air Force reported having recovered a crashed flying saucer! Of course, such a fantastic claim would grab the public's attention by the collar. Since, jet engines were just coming in to use, and rightly seen by the public as a revolutionary propulsion technology - remember, this was a time still dominated by propeller aircraft - a propulsion concept as radically advanced as a flying saucer, could only be imagined by the public as originating from some extra-terrestrial intelligence.
Following the Roswell event, for roughly 70 years, UFO and alien incidents reported by the public sphere where such reporting is stigmatized and routinely ridiculed by the suggestion that people making such reports are stupid at best, and mentally unstable at worst, what happens? The Pentagon acknowledges that the U.S. Navy has been, wait for it, encountering bizarre and inexplicable aerial vehicles pestering it's Carrier Strike Groups. Fighter pilot descriptions, and IR camera videos of the vehicles, and their flight dynamics closely fit descriptions of those 70 prior years of public UFO reports. Gee, what a totally random coincidence, who would have ever thought? With that public acknowledgment, the Pentagon wrote a classified report on these incidents to Congress, as was required by a newly enacted law. That report contains a statement which explicitly states that the Pentagon could not rule out the possibility of an alien origin to the vehicles. What an obliviously shocking, and totally unnecessary statement to include.
Which brings us to current odd aerial events, while keeping in mind the roughly 70 year public history of the UFO subject. The U.S. Gov't reports it's decision to shoot down a series of unidentified aerial objects for which they, unbelievably, claim to have not yet recovered and identified. I want to make clear that I think the most likely explanation for the objects is more Chinese balloons, and expect that to eventually be revealed. In the meanwhile, it strikes me as closed-minded, and a bit superior feeling, to suggest that members of the public wondering about the possibility of alien involvement is due to some deficiency in their intellectual level. Rather, I suggest that, given the Navy's recent encounters, and the Pentagon's fantastic, and totally unnecessary, statement granting the possibility of extra-terrestrial involvement in it's report to Congress. Plus, I've noticed that the cable news outlets have been using the 'UFO' term (though factually accurate, they well know what that implies to viewers) in their on-screen chyrons, to spice up the story. The, "Is it aliens?" question is quite logically on the mind of the public.

I'm not so sure they will be able to get much information from these objects anytime soon. They were small objects and shot down at high altitude by a missile launched by a fighter jet - nothing here is optimal for learning about what these things were. Whatever is left of them showered down as debris over some fairly large area. When commercial planes go down they collect all the bits and piece them back together and it takes months. Without a black-box to interrogate the debris from these UFOs maybe unrevealing without a lot of work.
Is it close minded to criticize people for their thinking though? Well, there are many cases where people listened to their government and then had stupid thoughts and to blame it all on the government means not taking responsibility for ourselves - at some point we do want people to think for themselves!

Keep in mind that "alien" does not mean extraterrestrial. It can be "alien to us" ("us" being the US, the Navy, etc.). So the govt reports saying "alien" don't necessarily point to anything special.
No, not for their thinking. It's closed-minded to pretend that there is no predicate for that thinking.
I do not see the logic to repeat the same fault from the WWII about alliens. After all people changed inside gvt. But it means not their mantra...like if most of their people are silly. Why not in school books because they begun 75 y ago ? Comonnn there is no logic in what you say.
What is worrying me is despite the social networksvsome still react like if inader invasion was talked by a radio talker.
This is the same process than religion belief. If two people say there is a bearcrunning in the street sime will still repeat it is true without gaving seen it.

Put them some ligths in the sky the same fools everywhere in the world were viewing gods and see alliens. They had excuses in the Middle Age.... nowadays with intelectual tools and knowledge in free access...no excuze.
I put aliens and UFOs in the same category as the Big Cop in the Sky. Of course it's possible it's true, but without evidence I fail to see why it's worth a second thought.
Exactly like religious claims, it's all hat and no cattle. Ane I think it's just a distraction from genuine and pressing topics, like why do we have a mass shooting in this country virtually every day? Maybe the gubment doesn't want us to think about that.

Level of some media as social dpt university is worrying... Wokism for instance. If only it was only a marketing tool to sell. But no, some look at that very seriously.
When I saw what Marvel Wankanda for ever showed I foundd it scandalous. French army in Mali seen as Wagner soldier thieves...What a shame, they were calked to avoid worldwide Bamako worlwide patrimoine to be destroy by islamists. Asked by their official gvt.
Mass medias in US fools their people a lot...well not in the same level than in Russia for sure. the level is falling imho.... But be reassured it is everywhere deep fakes since mass destruction weapon in Irak and CIA tower fall during september eleven. Wokism was a french bad invention at the origin by the way. Same ineway direction thinking...poor alliens...let them live as a minority, etc.

For me that is odd when one see the high level of technology and organisation. Very odd. But seems the same everywhere...China, Europe...everywhere. Newspapers have to sell paper, Mainstream TVs sell ads; cinema industry sell movies, social networks sell clicks, gvts sell stories for their people focus on what they want to shiw to hide crual realitty.
But extrateristrians is a very Good ones... enormous as the moon 🙂
Do we had children to let us believe in UFO and be stressed...It is sad...just monney business imho like wanting to send humans on Mars when the Earth biodiversity is collapsing...what a smoke screen for just happy few get monney. Read them a story they sleep better. I know it as an ancient hifi zine reader...lol.

Don' get me wrong....extrateristrian life certainly exist in the vast universe in a form or another. We do not know but it could be.
Extraterestrian consciousness would be more fun for people.
But the space craft anthropitism and hided visits belief is just ridiculous. Imho.

We had changed from paradigms since a couple of centuries. We need facts to build knowledge. While of course we need stories to live together...still. 🙂. That a great progress to be free enough to talk it.
Well I am just a little grey that lost his space saucer here due to a wrong update and destination error. But I find the planet cool...oh your music guys...want to stay...stop to talk about ufos...pleaaaaaase.
It’s logical, given the decades long, yet persistent trickle of evidence, beginning from before the time most of us were born. Including, coming from the U.S. military. Culminating not only with their stunning acknowledgment that their fighter jets have been playing cat and mouse with bizarre aerial objects which easily outperform them , but also have publicly validated video evidence leaked of some of those encounters. This is not your next door neighbor with his camera phone. This is the U.S. military during combat excercies.
Your mistake, it seems to me, is that you begin from a presumption about what’s ultimately true, and what’s false. That presumption being, either there is no intelligent extra-terrestrial life, or if there is, it cannot possible be visiting here for reason of the technological limitations. If you could ignore any predisposition of what you may believe must be true simply because the alternative is so fantastic, and instead look only at existing evidence. Limited, though it may be, evidence does exist. To be clear, evidence is not automatically proof. There‘s no rational denial that there’s is evidence after the U.S. Navy’s fighter encounter videos, eyewitness pilot reports, and the Pentagon’s ultimate report to Congress. Which incudes the tacit acknowledgment that, an alien (extra-terrestrial) origin to the bizarre vehicles can not be excluded. Added so casually, for words so potentially world shaking.
The reverse is also true, that it’s improper for anyone to presume there is an alien origin to the bizarre vehicles, and so begin their analysis of the evidence from that presumption. I think Carl Sagan’s admonishment that, paraphrasing, exceptional claims, require exceptional evidence is completely reasonable. So far, we haven’t seen what I see as exceptional evidence. Even though this is so, it’s not that we haven’t seen any evidence. We have. Just not the required exceptional level of evidence required to prove something so fantastic. While I judge UFO believers to go too far with elevating the limited existing evidence as proof, I also judge de-bunkers to go too far in denying there is any evidence which can’t be validly dismissed. Evidence is still trickling in some 70 years post Roswell, if sporadically. Until, or unless, exceptional evidence presents itself, it seems that an open-minded person will continue to restrain from final judgment as there is enough unexplained evidence.
