    UFO report to Congress 6/25/21

    Here is the UFO report to congress if you haven't read it. Take a look at the section below and see if you can identify what's wrong with this report. I'll give you a hint, it wasn't made in earnest.

    The UAP documented in this limited dataset demonstrate an array of aerial behaviors,
    reinforcing the possibility there are multiple types of UAP requiring different explanations. Our
    analysis of the data supports the construct that if and when individual UAP incidents are resolved
    they will fall into one of five potential explanatory categories: airborne clutter, natural
    atmospheric phenomena, USG or industry developmental programs, foreign adversary systems,
    and a catchall “other” bin. With the exception of the one instance where we determined with
    high confidence that the reported UAP was airborne clutter, specifically a deflating balloon, we
    currently lack sufficient information in our dataset to attribute incidents to specific explanations.

    Airborne Clutter: These objects include birds, balloons, recreational unmanned aerial vehicles
    (UAV), or airborne debris like plastic bags that muddle a scene and affect an operator’s ability to
    identify true targets, such as enemy aircraft.

    Natural Atmospheric Phenomena: Natural atmospheric phenomena includes ice crystals,
    moisture, and thermal fluctuations that may register on some infrared and radar systems.

    USG or Industry Developmental Programs: Some UAP observations could be attributable to
    developments and classified programs by U.S. entities. We were unable to confirm, however,
    that these systems accounted for any of the UAP reports we collected.

    Foreign Adversary Systems: Some UAP may be technologies deployed by China, Russia,
    another nation, or a non-governmental entity.

    Other: Although most of the UAP described in our dataset probably remain unidentified due to
    limited data or challenges to collection processing or analysis, we may require additional
    scientific knowledge to successfully collect on, analyze and characterize some of them. We
    would group such objects in this category pending scientific advances that allowed us to better
    understand them. The UAPTF intends to focus additional analysis on the small number of cases
    where a UAP appeared to display unusual flight characteristics or signature management.


    Notice the change in scheme when we get to "other"? We get details about what all the other categories could be, but the other bin gets NO examples, only a comment that we need better knowledge, and a promise to study "others" more. They are deliberately changing the categorical scheme to avoid detailing the 5th position in writing, a position we know some in the government take, and we know some of what they have been researching in AATIP. Congress should demand better, because they are clearly trying to influence the impact of the report..

    It's not even a memo on UAP, it is a plea for funding... Here is how it ends...

    The UAPTF has indicated that additional funding for research and development could further the
    future study of the topics laid out in this report. Such investments should be guided by a UAP
    Collection Strategy, UAP R&D Technical Roadmap, and a UAP Program Plan.
