It is a subject worthy of discussion and investigation.
The military's UFO database now has info from about 400 reported incidents
NPR, May 17, 2022
A database of reports of UFOs now includes about 400 incidents, up from 143 assessed in a report released about a year ago, a Navy intelligence official told lawmakers at a congressional hearing on Tuesday.
The military's 2021 report said no evidence of aliens had been found. Scott W. Bray, the deputy director of Naval intelligence, told lawmakers that they still haven't uncovered anything "nonterrestrial in origin," even though there are incidents they can't explain.
None of the documented objects had attempted to communicate with U.S. aviators, and no attempt had been made to communicate with them, he said, as they all appeared to be unmanned.

The committee members did a descent job of questioning, including asking if the Navy or armed forces had fired on any object encountered. Going from memory, the witness said, No, not on any UAP. That ignores what the historical record shows, which includes reports of weapons fired at UFOs and their associated occupants.
In fact, the first UFO hearing in 50 years did all it could to put a lid on things. Too bad for those of us who want to see what data, including recordings, photographs, radar tracks, etc. There was a fuzzy ball they showed in a screen shot from their presenters laptop. More people know about Tucker Carlsons tanned testicles than the radar-visual-photographic record.

The key to this whole question is a movie from 1950s, "The Day The Earth Stood Still"

When asked if any UAP reports included multiple types of data, they went dark.

They have been here, & looked us over. Decided humans not "smart enough" to have contact with.

Ore to the point, public reports of UFOs and aliens tend to mirror the movies they've seen recently

Well, that's an interesting hypothesis - that films are convincing people they understand aliens

I don't know why it still surprises me how many people vehemently reject this topic

I think the government knows more than that, but the government is not going to tell it all.

I'm guessing people "reject this topic" because there's no evidence to support it...

Thanks, Kid, and hang in there! Amazing how "This is real" from the military (2017) gets forgotten
