The hard questions a rational person should be asking in those cases:
1) Why have snippets of ATFLIR videos been the only evidence seen publicly when there are data bricks containing AEGIS/SPY-1 radar, sensor-suite information from jets, supporting aircraft, multiple regional/global USAF radar stations, satellite imagery, as well as deck logs? Data can be sanitized to prevent revealing sources & methods.
2) How do our best scientific minds study the anomalous quality of those incidents behind a wall of national security classification in a tangled web of DoD/IC bureaucracy?
The answer is Congress (Gillibrand, Rubio, Warner, Heinrich, Gallagher, Gallego, Carson) authors legislation which:
a) forces the DoD and IC to collect, collate, and investigate all UAP incidents based on expert witness reports and the enormous sensor apparatus of the US government. Then, apply the scientific process to that data. This is AARO.
b) orders a historical accounting of all UAP-related NDAs, programs, investigations, and cover-ups.
c) provides whistleblower and reprisal protections for government and defense contractor employees to speak to AARO/Congress despite whatever NDAs were previously signed (To date, at least 24 govt whistleblowers have given testimony in SCIFs to Congress/AARO. Of these, at least 6 were directly pertaining to active reverse-engineering programs per multiple sources.)

d) forms and executes a science plan to determine nature, origins, propulsion, health effects, etc. of UAP including a quick-reaction team to investigate incidents (near future).
e) work with other government depts (DHS, DoE), civilian agencies (FAA, NASA), defense contractors, academia, and international partners (Five Eyes) to coordinate data collection and analysis.
