Yeah, exactly. Galileo was persecuted for stating the earth revolves around the sun. Anything fantastical is immediately seen as taboo and this still happens today.

I personally find UAPs/UFOs fascinating. There's some unexplained phenomema going on and no one knows what it is. There's a massive taboo around claiming aliens/intelligent life, which makes it a subject few will admit to or investigate seriously. Then you have things like Fermi's paradox, a thought experiment that shows it is unlikely for the universe to only have 1 intelligent species in it.

Most likely there is some natural phenomena behind all of this, but I really hope it's something more interesting.



This is a ridiculous way of looking at things. Galileo was persecuted by The Church not other scientists who supported him.

Fermi's paradox isn't what you've stated.

Listen to the scientists. Not the politicians. Not the military.
