In terms of reasons for pushback the two most commonly mentioned ones are
a)national security (i.e. not revealing tech US developed) and b)widespread panic (eg. religions potentially being social experiments). (Of course, in reality there might be many more reasons like the real legal issues of intellectual copyrights “who owns UAP-derived tech?”. )
For the national security, I don’t see any issues with just disclosing existence without revealing any of the details similar to the development the nuclear weapon. The public can know that nuclear explosions might be possible, but it can be dangerous revealing the designs.
So are there any ways to test how the public will react to disclosure that at least we have retrieved crashed UAPs?
What do you think are some good ways to gauge the reaction of the public? Do think surveys are the way to go? Can people really give an honest view there when dealing with hypotheticals? If you are a sociologist/journalist, do you have any suggestions on how to gauge for the honest reactions of people in questionnaire? The Orson Welles prank was a good indicator. In The War of the Worlds (1938 radio drama) – Wikipedia) , they mention that “there is a growing consensus among sociologists that the extent of the panic… was greatly exaggerated”. The David Grusch news was also a good indicator since we didn’t see any major adverse reaction.
