Link to the government conceding these phenomena are actual somethings "flying with purpose"? (As opposed to a UAP appearing to)
We were discussing how I used craft, that’s how I described what I meant not what the government said. I’m not sure what you mean or are implying with your part in the parentheses
Link to the government admitting that these phenomena can't be explained by conventional means? Mick explains what it could be or is most likely to be - when has the government said that it couldn't be explained that way? (Rather than simply saying they can't be sure)
I feel like this is a semantics game here, I don’t really understand where you’re going with it. If Mick claims something could be an airplane, and the government comes out and says after a bunch of analysis we can’t identify what it is. Don’t you think they thought about the possibility it was a plane, especially since they’ve eliminated 95% plus of the other things as such?* These people’s literal job is to determine exactly what’s on these videos and have access to the technology and source data yet Mick at home on his computer can determine what is where they can’t? And to be clear, they don’t couch their statements as “that’s most likely a plane but we can’t be sure so we classified it UAP”. They’ve ruled out the plane explanation, they just can’t come up with a good explanation for what it is.
* to be clear I’m not implying that they’re saying they don’t know then makes it an alien craft. But whatever it is, alien, China, Russia or Doc Browns flux capacitor, it’s absolutely worthy of further investigation to determine exactly what they are.
Or just "good" evidence. Heck, I'd take some "decent" evidence at this point before thinking it should be a bigger story
Again, this is just where we differ. But if you don’t think some of the most highly trained credible people in the world, and we’re not talking about one or two at this point but many (people we trust with 10’s of millions of dollars of aircraft and to make life or death decisions based on their observational skills and decision making in combat) witnessing crafts fly in ways that far and away defy any known craft and conventional technology then back that up with radar and LIDAR as not even “decent” evidence, well I’m not sure what meets your criteria for decent.
