There's a lot of money tied up in UFO bullshit and also a lot of kooks. Threats could easily come from either party.
“…that any USG [US government] investigation, academic-sponsored research, or official review panel has confirmed that any sighting of a UAP [unidentified aerial phenomenon] represented extraterrestrial technology”.
Could it be clever wording? It doesn’t represent extraterrestrial tech if they found that UAP sightings originate from Earth somehow.
I'm not sure, I understand your question right, but yes, UAPs can originate from Earth. If someone sees a weather balloon and they send a pixelated photo to the government, because they think it's aliens or a Russian drone strike or something, that will be filed as an aerial phenomenon, which couldn't be identified.
That's also the meaning of "UFO" – Unidentified Flying Object – but I guess, it doesn't quite encompass all phenomenons, such as weird clouds or a comet burning up.
Cool. Cool cool cool.
So - what are they again?
Same thing they've always been, spy planes with a cover story.
Or people who don't know how cameras work
