Funny how we no longer call them UFOs. Now that powerful people are finally 'fessing up to their existence, they're being called UAPs. People who believe in UFOs are kooks, people who believe in unidentified anomalous phenomena are scientific. (To get here, we passed through "unidentified aerial phenomena.")
