DoD has its role and that is national security, but that needs to be seen within a politcal context. It seems reasonable to suggest their focus will be on enabling rapid positive identification of UFO / UAPs. Given AAPTF only managed to identify one out of 140 cases, there would seem to be considerable potential for progress in improving sensors and software to help them rapidly identify all the various things that can cause these misidentifications...perhaps putting their pilots through a course with MUFON would be a start (joke!).<br />It seems likely that their reports to Congress will therefore focus on the safe territory of an increasing percentage of identifications. At some point they will end up with a residue of cases that look very much like technology but nothing at all like any plausible US or Chinese technology and that may very well divide opinion as to what to do with that residue of cases.<br />As there is no clear way of positively confirming the origin of such cases (in the absence of crash recovered debris or a clear hypothesis of what the diagnostic signature of an alien spaceship would be) the safe approach would be to not open that Pandora's box and write them off as insufficient information.<br />This all sounds very much like the Blue Book process, with fancier technology, doesn't it?<br /><br />If the quality of the work is anything like the absolute disgrace that was AAWSAP then we could easily see some group of scientists brought in to review it, let them throw up their hands in horror and get the whole thing shut down, but I still hope AATIP and AAPTF might have been a bit more sensible in their approach and actually have some data rather than a load of ghost stories to work with. On a more optimistic note, the change in tone of the public debate is significant and might offer opportunities for a serious privately funded genuinely scientific study. Archival data, in a small number of cases such as Fukuoka 1947, USS Gyatt 1964, Trans en Provence 1981 etc., could provide a starting point, together with cutting edge modern sensor technology and data mining.<br />Regards<br /><br />AnthonyAnthony Muganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195694902712869724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-57172784833624039162022-01-09T19:13:46.857-08:002022-01-09T19:13:46.857-08:00Just looks like the reflection of ceiling lights o...Just looks like the reflection of ceiling lights on the window.Terry the Censorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361088223337740598noreply@blogger.com
