No, I’m pretty sure that is both being explored and talked about. People try to find natural explanations for these phenomena. Do you have a specific idea that should be talked about?

I had a hard time in another thread just convincing people that the subject of UAPs is worth any inquiry at all.

I am just chiming in because I feel that people who dismiss the topic in general will see this headline and say see nothing to see here case closed people who investigate this are crazy.

Whereas the phenomena is still very much present and should be investigated - for national security and aviation safety reasons at the very least.

I don’t think most people would say that UAPs shouldn’t be investigated. Look how much people freaked out over the Chinese spy balloon incident. The dismissal comes when people start to make baseless insinuations about extra terrestrial origin.

And FWIW, we absolutely do investigate UAPs (and by “we” I mean the government), again, it’s just in the context of “is this a foreign spy platform” not “is this a flying saucer”.
