They talk about disinformation, sure some of the incidents could have been our own technology being tested. Back in late 60s I used to gather old weather maps at Milwaukee TM field, one night there was a huge military presence and a ship on the tarmac that looked like the saucer shaped ship from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. We came within 500 feet of the craft so had a decent view of it, I gathered my maps, and when we left we were escorted a different direction out of the airport so we could not take a 2nd look at the craft. They had fuel trucks, half dozen Jeeps, and a couple larger rigs there… So sure, I agree they may be testing technology and the public may see and then they try and cover it up, but every sighting, very unlikely as sightings predate air travel. And now that everyone has mini-computer with a camera built in, certain they would be more covert, and I have not heard many sightings even of the giant triangle that is shaped like the vessel they show in this episode, but it was solid, not a flying V, a triangle in early 80s.. They did have news story saying they were going to advertise in space back then, so prototype? But why are people still seeing it locally 35 years later?
So this episode tries to explain away many sightings, but still leaves us questioning whether or not they are all explainable or not…

Every time I see a UFO show that attempts to debunk some UFOs as US technology being tested, I think of the Project Bluebook file I read on Kelly Johnson, probably the greatest aircraft designer that ever lived. He designed the U2 spy plane and the SR-71 Blackbird, still arguably the fastest aircraft ever built, both of which were claimed by skeptics as the most likely reason for UFO sightings throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s. But if you read the actual Bluebook file, you will see that Kelly Johnson had closeup sightings of his own in the early 1950’s that mirror the objects seen even today (it’s available to read online, complete with Kelly Johnson’s own drawings).
