As a Christian I can never believe in UFOs.
The Holy Bible would have some mention of possibility of human-type life on other planets.

Hey Rooster—it looks like we have more House and Senate public hearings ahead.
While you and I like to debate philosophical issues here on planet Earth we are going to see street brawls on this topic.
I saw a Chris Mellon interview recently where he discussed an interesting “alternate history”. He said imagine what would have happened if Khrushchev decided not to brag about Sputnik in 1957 and instead decided to keep it a secret.
In that case it is entirely possible, maybe even probable, that the US defense and intelligence folks would have decided to keep it secret as well.
That secrecy would have crippled the development of our space program because of intense compartmentalization in the name of national security.
My view differs from his—I would argue that the result would have been a Breakaway Civilization that studied this topic “off the books”—which as you know is my current view as well.
Nonetheless Chris did identify an interesting thought experiment.

A science fiction author (perhaps Larry Niven) said at some point, technology is functionally the same as magic.

“there are phenomena that have been witnessed by multiple people that are just inexplicable by any kind of science available to us.”
Like the fact that this show was popular at one point.

"frankly, that we are not capable of defending against.”
Nonsense. It's simple.
"Klaatu Barada Nikto". That's all it takes.

For at least 50 years I have been hearing the same BS. The government knows all about UFOs and they’re getting ready to release bombshell evidence. Believed it when I was young, but I’m so over it now.

YEP! Knew they’d bring out some distractive nonsense, and with no less than King Turd himself.
