The AARO-Senate hearing was dismal, but it did confirm one serious problem the US military has.
From the 1960s in particular, the US military has encouraged ‘the stigma’ against UAP. Ridicule, questioning sanity, and so on has led to the military culture becoming ‘you just don’t talk about strange stuff you see in the sky.’
That worked fine in the 20th century. But today’s wars are being fought with drones, and a huge array of (sometimes strange looking) new drones are being designed for military use.
The result of the stigma is that the military has trained itself to ignore what could and will sometimes be enemy systems. That’s catastrophic. If the chinese send a wave of drones at US positions and the US troops all ignore them because they look UFO-like, that’s a disaster.
As a result the military is having to get rid of UAP stigma and encourage reporting. They don’t have any choice. This should mean that many UAP sightings that would previously be unreported are now reported.
If this happens, UAPs are likely to become an open conversation in the military at all ranks, and disclosure may happen that way.
Another possibility I wonder about: could it be that the US military believes there’s an increase in NHI UAP activity and that wide awareness and reporting of these in the military is becoming essential?
