Reasons:
Appparently the Saudi Navy is releasing their data.
Alahwahoo Whackbar!

I would gather that is about to change.
Furthermore, I would think this would now give the commercial airline industry (and air traffic control) an opening to keep records of such sightings so they may be forwarded to the Navy (or other authority) for consolidation with official military reports.
I have spoken with pilots through the years (military and commercial) and most of them have seen unidentified things of interest. There are probably plenty of Freeper pilots and family members of such who have stories to tell.
‘The problem is that we have a problem. The problem isn’t that we don’t know we have a problem. We’ve know it for years. The problem isn’t that we don’t know the solutions. We’ve known those for years. The problem is that we just haven’t done anything about it’ -Frank Jackson
Actually that quote really doesn’t fit here, because we really aren’t necessarily suffering from ineptitude, ignorance, and corruption in this case. I don’t think they actually know solutions.
They say recently that they are trying to take the stigma away from offering reports, but they now say that they are not releasing anything. So the problem we have is a one way street. Who wants to participate in that?
The Air Force did that a while ago.
I’m a little hung up on the idea that back in, let’s say, the 1950s, people with little Kodaks often snapped pictures of mysterious things in the sky.
Today? With smartphones in everyone’s pocket? With absolutely anything and everything in the world being captured on video? I don’t see much in the way of UFO footage. I wonder why?
For civilians, it seems that what is being seen with the eye is not visible to a camera (i.e., it is either imagined, hallucinated, or just not material/solid, etc.). It is possible that what is being seen with the eye doesn't want to be photographed and has the capacity/ability to prevent it.
Despite what the Navy is saying, it will be made public.
Its the Black World, and what happens there stays there.
And anyway, they’re all weather balloons.
That said, I'm not sure how much of this new program is black. If the Navy wants to study this phenomenon, it will most likely incorporate the commercial aviation industry and air traffic control into their program and it is hard to classify that information.
If UFOs represented a genuine threat to national security, and release of this information would create panic throughout the country, the Democrats would have leaked this information by now.
That said, it was Sen Harry Reid who was the prime mover/benefactor of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program at the Pentagon.
‘dems would have leaked it by now’
~~~
lol great point.
Then again, as rooster says, you’ve got your whole ‘plausible deniability’ thing to steal a phrase from Independence Day, and the fact that even if you wanted to know, you probably couldn’t. Who is congress even going to subpoena? They’re too busy setting up carnival political inquisitions.
There are two reasons it wouldn’t have leaked by now, barring the obvious answer that there is nothing to leak. Either it’s too extreme and too damaging to release, or in our own best interests to keep it secret.
Ksenia Solo... ..yum!
