From what we can see so far, the following are true:

- there exist technologies on our planet that human engineers and physicists do not know the underlying principles of their operation

- there exist unknown physical principles and forces that a party other than the USG has harnessed and implemented for advanced flight capability

- information about the phenomena has in fact been officially secret for several decades

- this concern is both real and existentially meaningful where, to sustain its own democratic legitimacy in its role as a servant to its people, the executive branch of the USG determined it is obligated to inform the public of its knowledge of these phenomena

The second part is the economic forecast of this. People absolutely knew, so we have to ask the question, why bother with SpaceX or even oil drilling if there was going to be an imminent overturning of flight physics? Arguably, just because some people have Bugatti's doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't still need rickshaws. I think commercial space exploration with chemical rockets will be economical presently and foreseeably. Turns out we're the rickshaw people now.

These certainly have not been shown to be true. People have told stories alleging these are true, but they have for decades failed to substantiate them with evidence. All they've been able to do is tell wild fantasy stories and occasionally get a video or photo released that is laughably bad and does not support the story at all.

Which keeps happening, but the people who believe in alien visitation to Earth never seem to care that the alleged "evidence" keeps falling apart when it's actually released and scrutinized. They just move on to hyping up the next alleged evidence. It's honestly a cult dynamic at play here. Always reference to secret evidence and no epistemic adjustment after repeated cases of what they believed was evidence for their belief turning out to not be evidence for their belief. They never learn from all the past times they got scammed.

Want to point out some evidence for this?

Points 2-4 are entirely conjecture, though. If point 1 is even remotely true, then we lack the authority to decisively state that this phenomenon necessitates the existence of new control laws, flight dynamics or physics. We have no captured technology to speak of, you're making assumptions to explain the unknown.

> so we have to ask the question, why bother with SpaceX or even oil drilling

Because everyone with advanced access to this program knows, without a shadow of a doubt, that these UFO videos are a nothingburger and distraction from the DOJ's unreleased Epstein files.
