I am not replying to you, to flame you or argue; this is important to consider in my reply- its not the point I am making.
There is just as much evidence its something physical flying in the sky, as there is that it's a human condition that perceives things that are not there...this is Ufology's fundamental issue.
But that's not the point; you could and will probably link over a "UFO case" that defies explanation - just as I could link a paper on Academia in regards to neuroscience and how the brain perceives reality and all those things that can mess with that perception.
You could even link the two....as I said; opinion, belief and data, lots of the prior not much of the latter. If there was; I suspect we wouldn't be having this conversation.
What they are no one knows.....

This is a huge problem in ufology. It's obvious, and the evidence is overwhelming that something unexplained is flying in our air space...

Or the STORIES are overwhelming, rather than evidence of something unexplained. And the stories are what most of us love, dating back to the 1940s and beyond. It hardly matters if they're debunked in time; the journey itself through events and quirky characters is entertaining enough - eg the beauty of a house of cards like Roswell, built decades after the event and plumped up by outrageous fibs and misinterpretation, yet as one of the three pillars of ufology, it can never die, the same as the other two pillars: Rendlesham and Bob Lazar.
The only 'hard' evidence aside from 'stories' that can be extracted from all three is Colonel Halt's tape recording at Rendlesham - a live, 'as it happens' narration of unexplained lights that may have a very natural explanation. Outrageous lies, bickering and gross embellishments have throttled that case to death, but we won't hear a death rattle because it's one of those sacred pillars.
TTSA would love the Nimitz case to be a fourth pillar, but I find the whole affair rather underwhelming. Much has been made of a FLIR video depicting a blob doing precisely nothing - which does not shift away at incredible speed although many will queue up to insist a camera zoom IS proof of 'miraculous' movement. (Some still believe that Fravor filmed it, but he couldn't be bothered to switch his FLIR on.) Aside from that, we just have entertaining stories, not helped by five navy personnel already manufacturing their own false accounts before the case was hardly off the public starting line.

But Tom DeLomge claimed he did know. Because he was told "we found a lifeform". By a general or secret service agent or whatever the story was depending on when he told it. The place and the person who told it seem to be variables.
TTSA have almost exclusively relied on 3 videos and the Nimitz story. Which is coincidentally the same ship involved with the leaking of one of those videos onto the internet a few year later. Coincidence? TTSA aren't really bothered about anything else but this case. They might have been to Italy and interviewed a couple of other folks for their TV series. But that was sloppily done as we've discussed.
AATIP, was supposedly started in 2007 when the FLIR video was leaked? Coincidence?
AAWSAP which was supposedly the umbrella under which AATIP fell was not offered to tender until late 2008. How do we explain the discrepancy there?
But the Nimitz case is the focus of TTSA. Could it be because it really is a matter of National Security involving espionage?
The Pentagon "seems" relaxed about the video being out there. But what if it's not about that particular video but the people involved? We can only second guess. Like I keep pointing out Studio Six was a film company created as a front for the CIA back in 1979. TTSA is registered as a company providing Services Allied to Motion Pictures.
Another coincidence?

So soon after the event, people coming board to take every away is not weird to you? The fact that other footage was filmed that was clearer. If these objects were nothing, why not release it?
On top of that, we have witnesess of the objects in question. What were they? Weather balloons or swamp gas reflecting of the oceans and clouds lolObviously something happend! That much is obvious!
Part of the disinfo agents goal is to divide and conquer. So they want you to believe that most of the witnesses are lying. There is no reason to think that these witnesses are lying....
Obviously there is an upper segment of the military/government working WITH the alien visitors and there is NO national security risk at all. The term "national security" is simply the cover lie for the cover-up itself.....
....The United States Government and The United States Military...Those two corporations believe in aliens, and so should you. ..
Physical objects that travel at incredible speeds through US airspace, nah, why would the Air Force want to track those....The people in charge know damn well what they are. And the subject is taboo for the Air Force to talk about it.....

Air Force Two-Star Fired Amid Investigation into Misconduct Allegations
The head of the Air Force Research Lab at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, is under investigation after misconduct allegations were made against him and has been removed from his position.
Gen. Arnold Bunch, head of Air Force Materiel Command, relieved Maj. Gen. William Cooley from his post Wednesday "due to a loss of confidence in his ability to lead," the command said in a release, adding that the move is related to the ongoing investigation.
Derek Kaufman, spokesman for AFMC, told Military.com that Cooley has been temporarily reassigned as the special assistant to Bunch while officials look into the allegations. Kaufman added that the Air Force Office of Special Investigations is looking into the matter, but could not comment on the nature of inquiry. However, a military lawyer previously told Military.com that when "OSI embarks on an investigation, it is inherently a criminal investigation."

One such critic was the UFO researcher and Above Top Secret administrator Isaac Koi (a pseudonym to protect the person’s identity for professional reasons), who believed at the time that thefinaltheory’s story and video were bogus. “Within a few hours of the video being posted online, I tracked the video back to a website run by a group called Vision Unlimited located in Germany,” Koi tells Popular Mechanics. “Since that group specialized in producing footage, including special effects, I originally tentatively concluded the footage was a hoax.
