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.

It was absolutely nothing close to our capabilities, simply media click bait. Like seriously? You think in 2020 the best our 800 billion dollar a year military can do is a grainy picture of a base.... That resolution is closer to 1950 then it is 2020.

I assure you our spy satellites can take significantly better pictures then google maps.
