I see a lot of posts and comments lately implying that there isnt any good evidence for UFOs, and without a 4k video theres no point in believing. I find this odd because there are so many other forms of evidence available to us besides video. Besides video can now be faked easily with AI. So it’s value is diminishing everyday as AI advances.
Because of this I decided to make an overview of all the other forms of evidence we have. While there may not be a smoking gun, the quantity, scope, and diversity speaks for itself. I also linked sources in every section.
Quantity and Scope of the phenomenon is in itself evidence
UFOs presence in History
There have been tens of thousands of UFO sightings in the last 80 years. With ancient sightings going back 1000 years or more.

Its Global
Ever country on earth has ufos sightings, and some of them don’t even lie about it. France, Uruguay, Brazil, and New Zealand are just some of the countries that have publicly acknowledged UFOs are real

Many Credible Sightings
From the 1947 Roswell incident to the 2004 Nimitz Tic-Tac there have been hundreds of well documented cases in modern times. Many of which include multiple witnesses, videos, pictures, official documents, government acknowledgement, and material evidence. Some of these sightings have hundreds of witnesses.

Many credible people are saying it who are in a position to know
From astronauts to nuclear facility security guards. Hundreds of government and intelligence employees, some very high ranking, have put their reputations and careers on the line to tell their UFO stories.

The consistency of details is also evidence
Appearance is consistent
The vast majority of craft sighted are silver/metallic or light orbs. Spheres, ovioids, and triangles make up most reports. If the phenomenon was fake you might expect some more variety. Ie. SciFi style spaceships, star trek enterprises, etc. Everyone seems to see the same stuff though.

Performance is consistent
Ufos are commonly reported to operate silently. They have the capability to hover, and can instantly accelerate and stop on a dime. They are trans-medium, capable of operating in air, water or space. At least this is what people say, but it’s pretty much all they say about it. Which is strong indirect evidence for these characteristics being true.

Behavior is consistent
They frequent military bases, large conflicts, military exercises and space exploration. They regularly come and go from large bodies of water. They do not like to be seen, but when they do interact their behavior is enigmatic.

The Cover-Up
If there is nothing to UFOs why is there a huge effort to stigmatize and obfuscate them by our governments? Why are certain organizations making a great effort to block UFO legislation that forces transparency? These behaviors are expected if UFOs are real, and unexpected if they are not real. So in the absence of a good explanation for the latter we must accept the likelihood of the former.

Mass Hysteria is not a good explanation
If ufos are all fake then the only explanation for mass sightings and encounters are collective hallucinations. The military termed this phenomenon ‘Mass Hysteria’, during the ufo crazes of the last mid century, but is it real? Yes it is. The more common term for it is mass psychogenic illness. Only one problem, collective hallucinations aren’t one of the symptoms. The military was desperate to explain away whole towns seeing UFOs and it was the best they could do. Of course the people who actually saw these UFOs didn’t believe such a silly explanation, but unfortunately the rest of the world did.

Atmospheric Phenomenon, Balloons, and Swamp Gas cannot explain all UFOs
If people are not hallucinating maybe they are just misidentifying a natural phenomenon or a man made object? If this is true we should be able to explain almost every UFO. If not all of them, but we can not. Many cases defy the explanation of even NASA and Intelligence experts.

Quantity of habitable planets
Its now estimated that there could be as many as 300 million habitable planets in our galaxy alone. With the closest being Proxima B a mere 4.2 light years away. And countless others with 100 light years. Such distances are traversable by our unmanned spaceships RIGHT NOW. Reaching some of these planets ourselves may be possible within the century. Any advanced alien race could therfore also be capable of this.

The Fermi Paradox
The Fermi paradox is simple, if they are so many habitable planets around, where is everybody? Scientists have wrestled with this seeming contraindication for decades now, but maybe ‘everybody’ is right here.

Von Neumann Probes
Self-replicating drones made by aliens could explore the ENTIRE galaxy in a several hundred thousand years traveling only 1/10 the speed of light. UFOs could be exactly this.

Theoretical Physics
Near light speed travel is purely theory right now, but it’s solid theory. In other words there’s a good chance we’re going to have it someday. If we can do it, so could aliens.
