The truth is out there, but it likely starts with acknowledging that the UFO debate began with the U.S. military sector and has been sustained by claims and ostensible observations by the U.S. military sector. My own guess: Aliens would be unlikely to restrict their interest to U.S. military training operations. Their spacecraft would be detected outside the atmosphere as well as inside it. Ditto their radio-frequency emissions. Time and interstellar distances also remain obstacles to belief.
On the other hand, if the technology exists on Earth to make superfast, supermaneuverable drones, hiding it would be difficult. Much less so technology aimed at spoofing enemy pilots and their guidance systems, say, with lasers creating plasma bubbles in the air.
This is a known U.S. military research interest. An obvious military investment priority is to protect another big military investment priority, our manned and unmanned aircraft. Reporters and official investigators without security clearances may yet bring us the truth in coming days. A way to slow them down is by sprinkling a lot of pleasing and distracting red herrings in their path.
