As much as I love UFOs and ETs, I feel like there's more important things to work on than releasing a bunch of useless reports.

There’s a rumor Trump’s minting a new coin for UFO disclosure

transparency on the UFO issue removes a pillar and gateway to conspiracy thinking, and it will restore some much needed trust in the state as a set of institutions. the benefits of signalling the government is in it with its people on this issue creates a renewed sense of shared stake. imo ufo disclosure is probably the most important thing a democratic government could do right now, and one of the few things it could actually succeed at.

I think at best we will find very distant evidence of advanced alien life: Inspiring, but so far away and unreachable that we’ll never meet or communicate with them in any way. Don’t know what’s worse: wondering if there is alien life or knowing there is alien life in a distant system somewhere but having no further information that can be learned about them.

It wouldn't surprise me if they started using that site for information about terrestrial aliens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_(law)

I just get an SSL warning, that the site's certificate is only valid for *.go-vip.co.

The aliens can update those plugins.

Good to see some actual acknowledge from the beings living amongst us. The constant denying is getting frustrating.
