      Read the New Yorker's big write-up --there have been sightings all over the world and other governments have been more open about this.

          Your Jeopardy piece was great! This New Yorker piece is definitive on UFOs.https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/05/10/how-the-pentagon-started-taking-ufos-seriously …

          In the 1980's, a lot of people believed in UFO's. Then people slowly started realizing it was all silly. Now that people don't believe in them, the government is trying to hype them to the public. But the public basically is not buying it.

          It also seems plausible that we just fly fancier planes higher more often over more territory

          If you read American Cosmic by Diana Walsh Pasulka you'll find hints of a very camera shy community across the globe made up of ex-aerospace and intel types.

          The 60 mins piece had that "here are some jittery people who've seen things" vibe, which seems like something of a disservice. Everyone should def read the NYer and NYT articles.

          I saw a UFO in 1966. I was 13. My friend and our parents also saw it. All sober, educated adults. It hovered & zoomed in the night sky. And then we saw it land in a field downhill from us. All during this the adults frantically called the police & local media. No response.
