Is this whole UFO for real? Or what?

"Okay - I know this all the mumbo jumbo that we have all been hearing for a long, long time. We need answers. The fact that we have somethings zipping around (over) our sovereign territory, that even our F-22 jets can't even keep up with, is disconcerting. And why are they drawn to our nuclear plants or military bases? Does that mean they are really Russian or Chinese? And all those drones last winter, over many of our skies. What was that all about?"

Did you hear? Another tranche of UFO files has recently been released. Did I see some of them? I did, as did many others. Okay - I will say it. So far, these have been a big fat nothing burger. The UFOs doing the ariel dance over our Capitol in 1952 were more stunning than what has been released. Here is what I thought this entire disclosure thing was going to be about. Proof of an alien. Not some dead thing which could have been put together by a special effects artist. A live alien, landing on the White House lawn, and saying something like - "We are here." So far - no luck.

Wait - what? What about all those decades of people (some very reputable) seeing "somethings" in our skies? What about all these "things" that our astronauts have seen from space capsules or while serving on the ISS? What did Hamlet tell Horatio? "There are more things in heaven and earth". And ergo, Shakespeare might have hit upon the answer to some or all of these "things" we have all been seeing. Maybe they are fallen angels or demons. Or maybe they are us, time traveling back from the future. Or if you really want to go out on a limb - interdimensional beings.

Okay - I know this all the mumbo jumbo that we have all been hearing for a long, long time. We need answers. The fact that we have somethings zipping around (over) our sovereign territory, that even our F-22 jets can't even keep up with, is disconcerting.

Some think that maybe the answer lies in our oceans. That hidden within the 70% water we have on this planet, is another species. "Something" is down there and has been tracked at speeds approaching 200mph. Again, it is not us, as our best subs can only go a fraction of that speed.

My final thought on this matter is simply this (and this is for our government) - put up or shut up. If you don't know anything, just tell us so. However, if you do have immutable proof of aliens - show us. We CAN handle the truth. Until that happens, as the old expression goes, "I am not going to pay it no never mind!"
