That does not mean they do not want to learn more by hard slow testable work or by genius that opens new avenues and perspectives like Albert did.
We don't know if ufos exist either but it is not without curiosity.
“I think, to some extent, the time was right for UFOs to make a comeback,” Eghigian said. “We are in a period of remarkable advancement in surveillance technologies.”

At the recent congressional hearing, more than one lawmaker sounded convinced of a UFO cover-up.
“It is unacceptable to continue to gaslight Americans into thinking this is not happening,” said Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican.
Others in Congress, including the New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, seemed to view the proceedings more as an opportunity to demand transparency from the Defense Department, UFO cover-up or no.
The growing federal scrutiny of UFO claims could complete the rebranding of a stigmatized subject, one long consigned to drive-in theaters, roadside attractions and the Weekly World News.
Last year, academic researchers surveyed university professors on their own UFO beliefs. Some scholars responded with predictable unease, if not outright hostility. But 19 percent of respondents conceded that they or someone close to them had spotted a UFO.

Government-sanctioned ufology may well be one reason why more Americans are embracing UFOs. Other forces may also be at play.
Clay Routledge, an existential psychologist, theorizes that acceptance of UFOs may be rising partly in response to the well-documented decline in religious faith.
Not quite half of all Americans now say they are sure God exists, a historic low. One-third of the nation never goes to church.
The less religious people are, research has found, the more likely they are to believe in UFOs.
Both belief systems illustrate the same basic human need, Routledge said: the search for meaning. “We just have a longing for things beyond rational, evidence-based thinking,” he said. “I think it speaks to the human need for a broader cosmic connection.”

The idea of alien contact, while unproven, is more palatable to some ufologists than the existence of angels or demons or ghosts, concepts that fall outside the bounds of science.
“You don’t have to believe in anything supernatural to believe in UFOs,” Routledge said.
