What needs to be noted however, is that Luna tends to get her information from less than reliable sources, often pointing to things that either don’t exist or were never reported. If they weren’t reported in official channels then they usually only exist in social media, which as discussed on many occasions, is not a source from which AARO would be conducting analysis. Furthermore, Luna’s statement that she has “found responses from AARO, when questioned about UAP sightings and provided data, less than adequate,” stems from her bias and wholly uninformed and uneducated understanding of the scientific explanations and rational analysis behind each case. She doesn’t like the answers because it doesn’t conform to her conspiratory and imaginary theories and allegations. In answer to your other questions, these are important. First, releasing any raw video without performing the statutory requirement for analysis does not serve the public interest. It will only serve to further speculation, rumor, and pseudoscientific misinformation. The statutory requirement is to gather the cases, analyze the data, and declassify each with its likely explanation. This will not only address the need for transparency but also serves to help educate the ignorance and pseudoscience, combating the misinformation that pervades this area. This process takes time to do it right, something Luna her co-conspirators neither understand nor want. The Department has been complying with this law since the establishment of AARO. Secondarily, once each case is put through the process and analyzed, it should be declassified and released to the public according to the processes and procedures I established early on, published on AARO’s website. For example, every case with a cigar shape in an infrared camera is an artifact of the camera’s response function and thermal blooming as we demonstrated in the NOVA special some years ago. Putting that out in the public should have educated the public and Congress on why those types of objects are seen. Clearly, Luna didn’t pay attention and continues to listen to her “credible sources” in contradiction to fact. submitted by /u/Shiny-Tie-126 [link] [comments]
