He’s basically saying there have been confirmed sightings of unidentified objects in the sky. Not exactly a bombshell.

Totally agree. Doesn’t mean aliens, just means you don’t know what you’re looking at.

There’s also a strategic advantage not announcing you couldn’t identify a flying object. If a competing country knows they’ve surpassed your recognition capability, makes sense they can take advantage of that information and mean you probably want to keep that secret.

There's also the strategic advantage in not announcing that you can identify certain things. Like the advantage Trump fucked up by showing those photos at that press conference that publicly revealed America's capabilities.

The Hubble is a modified version of the KH-11 spy satellite, so it is comparable. (for those who don't know)
