And so I took the survey and what it did is it presented me with a bunch of academic articles about UFOs and asked if this changed my opinion of the literature.

And my answer was, no, you're not going to hand me three studies and expect me to change my opinion on this overall phenomenon.

And I kind of might have left some flaming comments at the end of that survey.

And after it was done, I was like, wait, why didn't I save what those articles were?

So I went and found some of the articles.

And some were published by the editor-in-chief of the journal that they were published in, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

But it's just like this is like your gold standard of evidence.

And it was like in a journal that had nothing to do nominally with aerodynamics.

It was like in a journal on entropy.

And I was like, OK, how much is this being pushed into the academic sphere?

It's hard to tell.

And so but that's one thing that I would worry about is like if now like if enough academics get snookered, it becomes a little subfield.

Now, I think like all of them, they probably eventually sort of deflate over time.

Like a flan in a cupboard.

But that is one thing I thought was interesting.

Then you mentioned NASA.

I remember I saw a talk by the NASA administrator, current NASA administrator.

And in the talk he was giving to kids, he was talking about one of the big reasons NASA should go out into space is so that we can meet aliens out there instead of down here where we're seeing all these alien contacts.

Oh, no way.

all these alien contacts with, with, with, and it's the same talking point, Steve, where these airplanes are locking on with radar and getting a range and confirming, we know these things are happening and then they're going off at impossible speed.
