There are more and more frauds, charlatans, and lunatics entering this area of inquiry.  It is important to stay disciplined on data-driven questions, most importantly to what extent are released (and unreleased) videos backed by radar, satellite, eyewitness and other forms of confirming evidence?  By confirming, I do not mean “confirming they are aliens,” rather I mean “confirming they are real phenomena and not illusions of various kinds.”

Do not focus the discourse on aliens, rather focus on whether the phenomena are real.  If they are confirmed as real, as many insiders insist, they we can return to debating what they might be.  And focusing on concrete evidence is something a committee can be relatively good at.  Trying to find agreement on “aliens” does not fall into that same category.
