A Rather Significant Footnote, On That NASA Hosted UAP Summit/Study/Report...


The final paper version won't be out until late Summer 2023, and it remains true that nothing at all definitive. . . may be said about these events. We simply lack adequate data, well calibrated.

Even so, it should not be lost in the mix that perhaps two to five per cent of all such events studied by the blue ribbon panel are considered "truly anomalous" -- i.e., very difficult to explain based on known physics/phenomena.

With between 50 to 100 reliable reported sitings per month now. . . that means as many as two to five of these events. . . defy conventional explanation -- per month.

That is by no means to say they are extra-terrestrial in origin. . . just that such a possibility is not easily ruled out, in those two to five per cent of reports. Here's a bit from BBC:

. . ."We have 50 to 100-ish new reports each month," said Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), part of the US Defence Department.

But he said the number of those sightings which are "possibly really anomalous" are 2% to 5% of the total database.

A Pentagon report in 2021 said that of 144 sightings by military pilots made since 2004, all but one remained unexplained. Officials did not rule out the possibility that the objects are extra-terrestrial. . . .


Of course, extraordinary claims must submit to extraordinarily rigorous examination. Thus far, none have cleared that hurdle, primarily due to lack of calibration in (the by their very nature) random observations. Onward, grinning. . . .
