FWIW, the magic 8 ball Google AI. Survey says!: "The number of scientists and academics studying Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) has grown steadily, driven by diminishing stigma and increased government transparency. Peer-reviewed...

No spoilers unless in tags, please. I’d be interested in hearing your overall opinion; what you liked, didn’t like, how much of UFO lore it was influenced by etc.

I suggest a new thread... "Disclosure Day discussion with spoilers." Folks can stay out of it to avoid spoilers, come in once they've seen it or decide they are not going to.

I will say, without spoilers, I liked it, a bit. 6.5/7 out of 10. "Arrival" still is my favourite alien movie so far (for the modern ones). I would love to talk about the ufo lore about it, but doing so without spoilers is difficult. If you have...

Any scientist who studied UFOs and found a new phenomenon would make their career... if they discovered aliens or the like they'd achieve immortal fame. Few scientists choose to study them. None of the ones that have done so made any important...
