Reminder that this report contains some of the best quality data on UFOs out there, and it points to truly anomalous UFOs existing all the way back to the 1940s and 50s. Yet people like Kirkpatrick want us to believe that these anomalous UFOs people continue to see to this day are all just Russian or Chinese technology.
Even Wikipedia, which has become notorious for spreading anti-UFO misinformation, admits that ‘the Air Force also incorrectly claimed that only 3% of the cases studied were unknowns, instead of the actual 22%. They further claimed that the residual 3% would probably disappear if more complete data were available. Critics counter that this ignored the fact that the analysts had already thrown such cases into the category of “insufficient information”, whereas both “knowns” and “unknowns” were deemed to have sufficient information to make a determination. Also, the “unknowns” tended to represent the higher quality cases, q.e. reports that already had better information and witnesses.’
In other words, the Air Force blatantly lied to the public to suppress interest in the topic. 22% of cases they investigated were deemed to be unknown, not because of a lack of data, but quite the opposite.
