For years, pilots were told: “If you see something, do not say something.”
The government leveraged the fallacious association between UFOs and aliens to increase the stigma. But it’s important to remember thatdoesn’t mean spaceship or something of extra-terrestrial origin—the term contains no such assertion. Rather, it means that the object or phenomenon cannot be identified.
Those who reported sightings—including commercial airline pilots, military pilots, and civilians—grew angry at the governmental gaslighting and at its unwillingness to properly investigate. After the conclusion of Project Blue Book, Hynek got mad, too. He advocated for real scientific inquiry into UFO cases and became a vocal critic of the government’s handling of UFOs and of its policy of ridicule.
In 1970s, the government started declassifying UFO documents under a Freedom of Information Act request. Thestoked the public interest. Nongovernment scientists and civilians stepped up to investigate, filling the vacuum left by the government. The civilian response invalidated the government’s fear that the public couldn’t handle the truth about these sightings, whatever it turned out to be. Perhaps the government projected its fear of admitting it didn’t have the answers.
