As Above So Below
A release of information was supposed to happen today, have you read that report already?...Do you have a link for it?...

Today? I thought it was the 23rd, I have not read what was released today. I looked for a link of the actual release of information, just a bunch of web sites discussing or (mis) interpreting.

As I thought, no specifics. Thanks for posting that link.

Roswell.
Our family went to Gettysburg when I was a a small kid and I've been back several times since out of interest and nostalgia. Over the last few years ghost hunting has given a new infusion of commercial schmaltz to the seasonal shop keepers etc that make money off tourism. They do a great job of it and its fun entertainment with some actual history thrown in.
Roswell reminds me of that. Harmless tourism, have at it - just don't confuse it for anything other than entertainment.

That is the version approved for public release so nothing juicy to be had. Still, I think it's progress. Examine these quotes:
Most of the UAP reported probably do represent physical objects given that a majority of UAP were registered across multiple sensors, to include radar, infrared, electro-optical, weapon seekers, and visual observation. (page 3)
And a Handful of UAP Appear to Demonstrate Advanced Technology In 18 incidents, described in 21 reports, observers reported unusual UAP movement patterns or flight characteristics. Some UAP appeared to remain stationary in winds aloft, move against the wind, maneuver abruptly, or move at considerable speed, without discernable means of propulsion. In a small number of cases, military aircraft systems processed radio frequency (RF) energy associated with UAP sightings. The UAPTF holds a small amount of data that appear to show UAP demonstrating acceleration or a degree of signature management. Additional rigorous analysis are necessary by multiple teams or groups of technical experts to determine the nature and validity of these data. We are conducting further analysis to determine if breakthrough technologies were demonstrated. (page 5)
UAP THREATEN FLIGHT SAFETY AND, POSSIBLY, NATIONAL SECURITY UAP pose a hazard to safety of flight and could pose a broader danger if some instances represent sophisticated collection against U.S. military activities by a foreign government or demonstrate a breakthrough aerospace technology by a potential adversary. (page 6)
Increase Investment in Research and Development The UAPTF has indicated that additional funding for research and development could further the future study of the topics laid out in this report. Such investments should be guided by a UAP Collection Strategy, UAP R&D Technical Roadmap, and a UAP Program Plan. (page 7)
Anybody notice that there is now a bona fide unit of the DoD responsible for investigating this stuff? It's the UAPTF, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force. Their activity is ongoing, and they are hoping for more funding. This is a significant departure from the last 50 years since the Condon Report, no question about it.

Within the last year or two (since shortly after the NY Times article dropped) all branches of the military routed any questions about UAP/UFOs to DoD for comment. Makes sense really, on that particular topic anyway.
I look at it this way. Suppose we had ourselves a Total Perspective Vortex in which at one end we would hook up the sum total of all UFO reports ever + all government files public and secret from every nation + all sensor data ever in the history of ever at one end, and at the other end you hook up a piece of '________'
** Now this is where I beg to differ with Douglas Adams. No idea what 'faerie cake' is and if a confection is needed I'd probably ask for a coffee cake. mmmmmmm **
Point is, what you would have is a big jumble of crap you'd have to sort through. Wait - we have that already. It's the haystack we've all been writhing around in for years.
Remove the stigma and create a standardized reporting process. From that create a real database; a searchable for-real ODBC compliant type database. Data analytics. In the meantime since it's the Future and everything, let AI sniff around what you have collected so far and continue to and see what it comes up with. Then come up with a novel idea to collect and filter non-government sourced reports. That's about what I read in that real short report.
Taking away the stigma and creating a real database is a Big Thing. Right now we have a line drawing of a pony made up of one or two hundred dots. In time if it grew to millions of dots you would have a Pixar character. Instead of opening the hangar door and showing you the silver flying saucer maybe this is really the Big Thing that's going by quietly.
