To detect UFOs using advanced technology and scientific data collection
The Tahoe drone case was computer generated, and I recognized it as such due to specific visual cues.
The media will take scientific data more seriously than anecdotal UFO sightings.
There is a lack of funding for university programs studying UFOs.
The EAT project aims to create a system that detects UFOs using multiple sensors.
