Between Belief and Disclosure: The Ongoing Debate on Extraterrestrial Life and Unidentified Phenomena

To the point

There is a broad, ongoing debate about whether intelligent life exists beyond Earth, what such beings might think of humanity, and whether governments should release more information about unidentified phenomena, with Avi Loeb noting Earth would look disappointing to aliens because of human conflict, Obama and Trump urging transparency, SETI's Bill Diamond and Edwin Bergin arguing the universe makes intelligent life likely and that contact would be up to the other civilization, and Debbie Dmytro and Timothy Gallaudet calling for openness amid inconclusive 2024 sightings.
