How do "we" know this?

Because the guy on the plane responsible for the data testified on camera that he was instructed to grab the the "bricks" (specialized hard drives) immediately upon landing and they were then confiscated and quickly flown off of the carrier rather than being stored in the safe as per usual.

Watch Histoy's Unidentified series.

Oh ok. I don't trust that story. Sounds like somebody is embellishing if not inventing things. It's unfortunate but this is my general experience with UFO events that get publicized. People confabulate stories that fit the alien origin and government conspiracy narrative.

Time to slink out now for me. I derive some entertainment from the puzzling over what a UFO might be. The ensuing unwarranted speculation into alien origins puts me off. And the people who posit a government conspiracy tend to assume just those origins.
