How the Government Is Taking Alien Sightings More Seriously?

Alien mania has been on the rise in recent years, with government officials and organizations taking it seriously. The story of how this began is complex, but it involves Nevada politician Harry Reid, who funded a study on the phenomenon. While sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) have been around for decades, the government now refers to them as unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP). However, the recent Office of the Director of National Intelligence report on the government's files on UAP concluded that "the limited amount of high-quality reporting on unidentified aerial phenomena hampers our ability to draw firm conclusions about the nature or intent of UAP," and did not mention aliens. In December 2022, NASA named members of a study team to analyze UAP.

The lack of transparency from the government on what these objects were has resulted in conspiracy theories and misinformation about aliens. The White House spokesperson addressed this during a press briefing, stating that there was no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns.

Even the existence of an intelligent species capable of traveling between stars would be an extraordinary thing, and there is no extraordinary evidence that proves the case. Almost every hyped alien sighting can eventually be explained by a rather pedestrian phenomenon. As astronomer Carl Sagan once said, "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." The existence of advanced alien civilizations is certainly an extraordinary claim, and while there is plenty of "evidence" of unidentified flying objects in our skies, there is no extraordinary evidence that proves the case. In the end, it's probably safe to assume that it's not aliens.
