In English we call that "proving a negative", something that can't really be done. In various subjects like UFOs and the paranormal, those who make claim often use this rhetorical argument to shift the burden of proof from the claimant to the...
I was thinking about this being an "unknown" phenomena (stuff in the sky/sea/space). Surely someone like Elon/Jeff/insert multi-billionaire name here would have jumped on to this? Why wouldn't they have setup satellites, cameras, sensors...
That is an interesting point, what I take away from it may be different from what you intended, though!
I think we need to consider,
I'd ask, "Is there anything that the government could do that would NOT be interpreted by the believers as a...
Why do we have to confirm that the U.S. government doesn't have secret proof of UFOs? Should we also prove that they don't have evidence of Bigfoot or unicorns? And how on earth do you think it would be possible to prove such a thing? The only...
But we can see what reported UAP look like in the released videos. Generally small on-screen features a few pixels across, often in IR, making shape/ features very difficult to interpret. Some show brightness/ shape fluctuations that indicate...

Funny, I just finished a show on this. Damn it was a lot of research, and I got to talk to the folks at the secure archives where the original glass plates are stored. Super crazy fun research project.
I found early on that there was no point...

But that's exactly @Andreas ' point, isn't it? We have all those reports that were released to us in the last few weeks (that is, NOT "dragging this out") and instead of demonstrating transparency, the UFO crowd, angry at not having found any...

I just think we have to agree to disagree on this point. Personally, I don't think we "need the data and the research." It's not about proving or disproving alien visitations. It's about disproving individual pieces of "evidence" put forward by...
"Me: They should release the data and research that the UAPTF and UFOlogists claim exists or confirm that it doesn't exist, so that it can be debunked."
