Not criticizing you but it will never not be funny to me that crazy people have tried to legitimize seeing alien spaceships by renaming them from UFOs to UAPs. It’s like the conspiracy theorist version of unhoused.
First, I believe that this term has been introduced by the us government, so it’s not the crackpots laundering the conspiracy themselves by using a new term.
Second, I believe the reason UAP was introduced is to describe properly recorded and credibly witnessed and described phenomena (tic-tac, etc) that are not explained by any publically known craft, engineering, or science, but aren’t likely aliens either; and that is well described by UAP which doesn’t directly imply aliens that ufo does.
