The big UFO report, in context
Daniel Drezner, a professor of international politics at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, insightfully wrote in a Washington Post guest column last April that it is "increasingly respectable to acknowledge that unidentified aerial phenomena are a thing. But this leads to a few follow-up questions. Does this evidence point toward the prospect of extraterrestrial observation of our planet? If so, how should we feel about that?"
"I am not going to speculate on the first question," Drezner continued, "beyond noting that if Harvard astrophysicists are making that suggestion about interstellar phenomena, perhaps we need at least to consider the possibility that these UAPs might also be extraterrestrial in origin.
