The author argues that the recent Congressional hearing on UFOs featured credible testimony from military witnesses that UFOs exist and the government has covered up information about them for decades. The author, a retired Navy admiral, vouches for the integrity of the witnesses. He believes society should demand that the government disclose what it knows about UFOs. This could lead to scientific advances that transform our understanding of physics and the universe. Studying UFOs could also improve international security and cooperation. The author contends that failing to study UFOs would be arrogant given how little we understand about the universe.

Well, if they are so cool then this article should maybe mention Mick West, a professional debunker of UFO footage, who has insanely detailed analysis' and explanation for those videos. For example the Gimbal video, for which he showed that a systematic shortcoming of the used military FLIR device using a gimbal system is responsible for it (thus explaining why the US military gave the footage that name) or the Nimitz "Tic-Tac", for which it was super easy to prove that it wasn't moving fast and low, but high and slow.

All these videos ever show are shortcomings and weaknesses of military technology.
