As Colonel Sokolov had said, look, it's very simple.

We see UFOs do all this stuff that we can't do, that you can't do.

You Americans can't do it.

In terms of you can see something on radar, but not visually.

See something visually, but not on radar.

You can see it doing incredible maneuvers at incredible speeds.

We can't do it.

You Americans can't do it.

We knew if we studied it and could figure out the technology, we'd kick your ass in terms of stealth.

We'd jump ahead of you.

So it was a very practical reason.

They wanted to figure out how these things flew and analyze it and build their own.

Thread 3 was sort of the culmination of all the effort that had gone in in the decades before.

All the information that was collected by the studies, by Colonel Sokolov's nationwide information process that put all these cases and all these incidents, some of them very dramatic, into the hands of Thread 3.

And they analyzed it.

They analyzed the Russian info.

They analyzed American info.

And they're trying to get ahead of us and do it in a very practical way.

It's spelled out.

Very clearly, several points in that document, the report that we made public, they wanted to build their own.
