      1. No Drama Obama on the UFOs: "We can't explain how they move, their trajectory. They did not have an easily explainable pattern. And so I think that people still take seriously, trying to investigate and figure out what that is." Reasonable! But should we be freaking out?pic.twitter.com/RG8QjBbaV7

      2. As people rightly insist the "u" in UFO just means "unidentified." Doesn't necessarily, or even at any serious degree probably, mean space aliens. Just means there is weird shit flying around all over the world which we can't explain. Which is interesting/worrying.

          3. Depending on you rigorously you want to define UFOs, they've been a thing since 1940s, or 1890s, or really the beginning of recorded history. Humans often see things they can't explain! And in vast majority of cases that's just optical illusion and/or delusion.

          4. The story is not UFOs (which have been around for a long time) but new respectability of UFOs: Pentagon used to be hush-hush, now they're all X-Files. NY Times, New Yorker, 60 Minutes covering. Thoughts on why this is so:https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/ufos-and-the-pentagon-budget?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

          or is this a nice way to beef up pentagon spending for the next decade

          probably, but we shouldn't discount the possibility that the pentagon is unable to explain because they're incompetent

          I’m of the opinion they are assessors from the Intergalactic Partnership of Planets (IPP). They were trying to see if we should be admitted, but now we’re such a shit show they come here just to watch. Prove. Me. Wrong.

          The National Lampoon once ran a proto-Onionesque article about IFOs -- Identified Flying Objects -- being spotted near an airport.

          If people were looking for UFOs they might spot the drone that we’re about to use to drop bombs on them
