That final 'report' is due today, but nothing so far says "... the pentagon announcement that the ! craft ! are real." They just say that WE had no craft where these 'events' were reported. It doesn't assume there are **real craft**.

"Although the task force’s unclassified assessment is not expected until June 25, the New York Times provided a cursory preview of its contents in an article on June 3. Citing anonymous senior officials familiar with the report’s contents, the story said that the assessment has come up short of explaining what UAP are and that it provides no evidence to link them with any putative alien visitation—despite reviewing more than 120 incidents from the past 20 years. The report’s firmest conclusion, it seems, is that the vast majority of UAP happenings and their surprising maneuvers are not caused by any U.S. advanced technology programs."

"June 3, 2021

WASHINGTON — American intelligence officials have found no evidence that aerial phenomena witnessed by Navy pilots in recent years are alien spacecraft, but they still cannot explain the unusual movements that have mystified scientists and the military, according to senior administration officials briefed on the findings of a highly anticipated government report."

"A new report from U.S. intelligence officials claims that there's no evidence that the unidentified flying objects (UFOs) sighted in recent years — even objects that seemed to perform aerodynamic feats beyond the capabilities of human aircraft — are extraterrestrial in origin. "


'....wisdom in philosophy."

Philosophy doesn't (usually) deal with what is 'truth'.. it examines the logic and implications of assertions that claim truth. Occam's Razor, the Explosion Principal...various 'informal fallacies', etc. are used to put assertions to various tests for internal consistency.
It is **possible** for a seemingly amazing claims to BE true, even if arrived at by dubious premises... but this is not the usual outcome.
