So... 1-2 per month that are even in the "possible" category, and given the anecdotes around lunch microwaves and "turns out it was a commercial aircraft" this is not going to be the all-revealing report some folks are looking for.

Kirkpatrick's slide notes of those UAP's typical characteristics: round, 1-4 meters diameter, white/silver/translucent, at 10K-30K feet altitude, up to Mach 2, no thermal exhaust

That is quite revealing in my book. Those are no conventionally powered "drones".

I’m taking a different approach to disclosing UFOs If they did come out and say “ yeah we’ve known for a while” you have to realize that the world economy would crash.

Eventually there would be Instant transportation for everyone and Free energy for everyone

That is why disclosure will never happen until the powers that be all die off or something unimaginable happens.

My two cents.

I dislike that the article is filled with the false positive (FP) anecdotes. It’s important to state that there are many false positives, there must be. However, the focus should be on minimizing these FPs while maximizing true signal, and investigating these in depth. Everything that is potentially true signal, is what I want to read about, not something something microwaves during lunchtime.

That's reported, not verified. It would say "tentacled oblong rectangle" if that's what got submitted.

Why can't it be that all self reported close encounters are "crazy"?
