Following a routine procedure yesterday morning, I was instructed by my nurse to rest and not take any interviews for the day. But an hour later, the 2022 UAP report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) was finally released, and five journalists and producers approached me for comments.

One reporter from NewsNation started the interview by apologizing that he is no expert on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). I relayed to him the good news: that nobody else is an expert on UAP either. UAP are likely a mixed bag, with most of them being human-made or natural terrestrial phenomena. The reason they are unidentified is because the US government does not possess data of sufficient quality to decipher their nature.

It is natural for the US government to report about UAP because the day job of military and intelligence agencies is to monitor the entire sky above the US. They are tasked with defending the nation against security threats or espionage and protecting the safety of military personnel. With that goal in mind, their objective in collecting data on UAP would be to successfully identify any unusual objects in the sky. Astronomical observatories, by contrast, train their telescopes on objects at great distances and thereby ignore any fast-moving objects overhead.
