Ask HN: What do you think of the Pentagon-released UFO sightings?

Let me preface this by saying that I do not think it is likely that advanced alien life has visited Earth, but that the odds of this seem higher today than they did a year ago.

In April, the Pentagon released videos of UFO sightings[1]. Since then, we have learned that the Pentagon has a UFO task force[2]. A Pentagon defense contractor even gave a DOD briefing this year claiming that the government is in possession of "off-world vehicles"[3].

What does HN make of this?
