We need progress now. In a democracy, public debate makes better policy, but that isn’t happening when it comes to UAP. If some of these objects are foreign surveillance platforms, every moment of undue secrecy weakens our defense. If they represent natural phenomena, understanding them is critical to aviation safety. If they represent other phenomena we do not yet understand, disclosure is the first step toward serious scientific study.

Transparency is not just a virtue — it’s a necessity. Withholding information also fuels conspiracy theories and cynicism, undermining faith in our institutions. When Congress and the public struggle to pry even basic answers from the Pentagon, what message does that send to the American people?

This isn’t about chasing sensational headlines. It’s about an informed citizenry and honest government. With thoughtful transparency and rigorous investigation, we can begin to understand these phenomena — and restore the trust that secrecy has squandered.
