#12Is this really a surprise to anybody? UFO means "unidentified flying object", not "alien".
That's the strict definition, but to most people "UFOs" are still associated with "aliens".

#13Did anyone seriously expect the report to say that those things are "aliens"?
The fact that it says that (at least some) encounters did actually occur and that they cannot be explained is already some news.

#14The NY Times Headline is much more informative and interesting:
> U.S. Finds No Evidence of Alien Technology in Flying Objects, but Can’t Rule It Out, Either
Sub header:
> A new report concedes that much about the observed phenomena remains difficult to explain, including their acceleration, as well as ability to change direction and submerge.
Those descriptions are a tectonic shift on the topic from the US government.

For some reason all the news reporting I’ve seen about it breathlessly insinuates aliens without actually saying that because they’d be legitimately ridiculed. Alluding to it though brings in more viewers. Kind of disgusting.

There are literally millions of people who expected this to be the big reveal about aliens. It's crazy how the US military has been teasing the UFO community during the last few years.

#17So, basically they are saying they don't know what the hell they are.
Different teams within government often don't know what each other are doing. If there's a relative difference in both security clearance AND organization goals, there are very likely to be projects that will never be connected to phenomena. eg Drone Mesh network testing over naval ships or Stealth-Treaty-breaking experimental craft that are being developed nonetheless.

#19If you enjoyed the report about the UFOs, you may also enjoy reading about project NEMESIS: Netted Emulation of Multi-Element Signature against Integrated Sensors https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/29505/the-navys-secret...
In a nutshell: "for years, the Navy has been developing and integrating multiple types of unmanned vehicles, shipboard and submarine systems, countermeasures and electronic warfare payloads, and communication technologies to give it the ability to project what is, in essence, phantom fleets of aircraft, ships, and submarines.

#20Why does it feel like this report has been teased for weeks, almost akin to the release of a new blockbuster movie or similar cultural product?
It's really bizarre coming from such a (historically) no-nonsense organization
Maybe this is just so unavoidable as a marketing/PR strategy these days that even the military feels compelled to participate?
