I am cranking away on SETI like most here, just thinking since the military has come forward as of recent with video of the little guys flying around and admitting they are UAP -Unidentified Aerial Phenomena ...should we still be cranking away on this project still or should we move onto other projects? https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/18/politics/navy-confirms-ufo-videos-trnd/index.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2019/09/18/those-ufo-videos-are-real-navy-says-please-stop-saying-ufo/ |

So far every candidate signal from this project (and every other SETI project) has turned out to have been of intelligent origin: Earthly. This also applies to every image and video from non-scientist sources purporting whether on purpose or not to be of some extraterrestrial craft since the invention of photography as well. They were either natural phenomena, human-made flying objects unintentionally appearing otherwise, or out-and-out-fraud (plenty of thrown hubcaps in there.) We don't have any evidence that these videos were anything different. Extraterrestrials have to be the last explanation when everything mundane has been eliminated.
