It's possible that these first few releases might not be for us.
I know the first two UAP file releases have been pretty underwhelming for a lot of people in the UFO community. For those of us who have been following this subject for years, a lot of what has been released so far feels basic, sanitized, or like information we have already been circling around forever. But I do think there is another possibility worth considering. Maybe these initial releases are not really for us. Maybe they are for the people who are still completely out of the loop. The people who have not followed the hearings, the whistleblower claims, the AARO drama, the Nimitz case, the leaked videos, the Wilson Davis memo discussions, the SAP/USAP allegations, the congressional language, or the long history of military and intelligence involvement in this topic. To us, these releases feel like kindergarten level UFO material. But to the average person, or even to lawmakers, journalists, academics, and officials who have never seriously engaged with the subject, this might be the introductory phase. A slow onboarding process. That doesn't mean we should stop demanding better, though. We should keep pushing for the real material, the classified records, the program names, the crash retrieval allegations, the biological claims, the sensor data, the chain-of-custody documentation, and the names of the people involved. I am trying not to lose hope just because the first releases were not aimed at the people who are already deep in the subject, because it's possible that before the government can release the kind of information the UFO community actually wants, they first have to bring everyone else up to speed. The public, the media, Congress, and the people who still think this entire topic begins and ends with blurry lights in the sky. The first two releases may be underwhelming to us UFO bros, but maybe that's because we're not the target audience yet. Hopefully, what this community actually needs comes later, once the people outside the loop are finally closer to being on the same page. submitted by /u/Dangerous-Eye-215 [link] [comments]
