UFOs are the story of the century – wake up, America

important to consider the source here, I think - Gallaudet is on the advisory board [0] of "Americans for Safe Aerospace", the group founded by Ryan Graves, who was one of the three witnesses who testified in the US House hearing on UFOs last week. one of the other witnesses, David Fravor, is on the organization's "Aircrew Leadership Council".
he is emphatically not a disinterested or neutral party here. his relationship with Americans for Safe Aerospace is disclosed at the bottom of the article, but his shared affiliation with 2 of the 3 witnesses at the Congressional hearing is not.
Come to think about, this point is stupid: it's as if you can say, "This person who wrote this article, has previously written articles having the same views. We need to consider that they are not neutral."
Would the assumption of "neutrality" (unrealistic, because is anyone really ever?) change what they're saying?
The point I guess is not to ad-hominem and appeal to authority, but to assess the things they say on what they say.
This point you're saying makes no sense to me: why should we discard what someone says because they have a stance? Everybody has a stance. I don't think we ever expect anyone to be neutral.
In conclusion, humans can't really be neutral. They're biased. But that's OK. You shouldn't be basing your conclusion of information based on your authority-assessment about the individual, but basing on what they're saying.
It's a distraction from what they're saying, and it's meaningless.
For people who are bored, here is a good long podcast on all the “x-com” angles (with LK-99’s concurrently developing story / potential, really that interesting though?):

It’s a very convenient disguise of a series of entertaining forever stories to distract from any kind of secret militech development since that time.
If one compares with the astronomical realities of space and time and that historical “good old Terran” context, things become very clear on the probability front.
It also seems to be a great contender for “top mass distraction news of the summer”. I mean the world is literally burning and we just keep consuming, fuelling our legacy systems like the 80s never ended (unfortunately they did).
Have a listen to the podcast by the way, the military journalist they interviewed still has some cool anecdotes to share even without any actual aliens ever involved.
“I want to believe” as well but this simply ain’t the big news it’s been heralded as.
You always have to question whether reports like this are even taken seriously and registered at all. Prior to the Cold War they were probably laughed out of the room.
This “story” makes for great clicks and fun tabloid newspaper headlines on the beaches during the typical “Sommerloch” news cycle.
“Kurz gesagt” watching videos like this one, much more fun IMO:
But, it's like, "where's the hard fucking evidence?" Stop hiding stuff!
It's not just the aliens trolling us. It's the gov/corp too.
Maybe that's all part of the aliens plan: they know that by their tech-striptease they will drive the gov/corp wild with the promise of tumescent technology and send them into a no-holds-barred frenzy to squirrel-hoard all the nuts for a future time when they might just understand it.
In doing so, turning the gov/corp and the people further against each other (not like history is clean of examples of pre-existing exploitation), further weakening humanity (by crucially weakening its lynchpin: the public, the state).
From that view, it's sort of like a "kindergarten teacher" play: the teacher spots a troublesome youngster bopping others on the head with a toy. So the teacher gives the youngster a shinier toy, then youngster proceeds to sit in the corner and play with said shiny until it falls harmlessly asleep.
> I mean, what's yearned for in that sacred space within ourselves can't really be in the discovery of some hidden magic out there in the world, can it? Because even if we discovered it, that would quickly become the mundane norm. If extraterrestrials came down from space and began openly walking among us, it would be a really big deal at first, but for how long? After a while they'd just be one more mundane thing happening in the world; oh there's Vipvorp, he's an ET, he's my manager at Costco and he's a bit of a prick sometimes.
Of course we don't have evidence because it is a conspiracy (say, Government hiding UFOs). One of the goals of any conspiracy is to keep itself hidden.
If I were to guess, the Chinese intelligence agencies are simply doing active measures to cow the American public after embarrassing surveillance drone failures
