it also seems rather silly and pointless, given that alien craft are fairly routinely operating in our own airspace
Not everyone agrees with that statement and it hasn't been proven to be true.

Lots of people think that we never landed on the Moon even though college students all around the world reflect laser signals off of the reflector that we left behind there and the Chinese and Russians have released photos of the equipment and tracks that we left there, so unanimous agreement is an unrealistic standard.Not everyone agrees with that statement
Proven to who, exactly?and it hasn't been proven to be true.
I understand that position completely. In fact, if I hadn't seen a pair of these things rapidly zigzag in perfect formation across a clear daytime sky with five other witnesses standing beside me, I'm convinced that I would've found myself among the ranks of the die-hard cynics who shit all over this topic.Human nature puts too heavy a finger on the scale for me to accept such an extraordinary claim based on eyewitness testimony.I'd like to see an alien spacecraft, maybe run my hand over it. Show me one.
Unfortunately that's the way the DoD wants it, and we know that. By withholding the empirical evidence, they keep us at each other's throats. But imo when somebody gives our top military pilots and radar operators even a modicum of credit, and accounts for the wealth of modern scientific findings ranging from the prevalence of habitable worlds in our galaxy and the theoretical physics of field propulsion, it all fits together like a jigsaw puzzle to produce a surprisingly clear picture.I have no expectation of total agreement on anything, and I don't necessarily believe that consensus opinion is always correct. But certainly with this topic there's room for debate and nothing we've seen so far has done anything other than fuel it.
We are expecting visitation from a galaxy teeming with Life because of, I suppose, statistical probability. Dunno what the reality of it is. We are an impatient lot, maybe we have to simmer a few centuries first.
I keep thinking of gorillas. Reports of their existence predated the actual proof by decades. And at that, they were comparatively easy to find terrestrial creatures and no government wanted to use them for strategic advantage and therefore created any disinformation regarding them.

I only read The Hermit back in 1975 and I remember very little about it, but like you, my "UFO" experiences have led me to believe there is more of a spiritual aspect than a physical aspect.I grew up with T.Lobsang Rampa and during the 1970s, I was trying to put my own UFO experiences into perspective .Lobsand Rampa often talks about UFOs being spiritual and I too found this to be correct by my own experiences. He also points to them as being The Gardeners.
"Proof" is a subjective standard used to evoke an authority that doesn't actually exist.
