One problem with the conclusion: Type UFO video 2014 and you'll see that there are still hundreds of hours of video taken about this every single year... So, I'd say the evidence keeps mounting for something its just more convenient (then ever) to ignore it.

> its just more convenient (then ever) to ignore it

Why would it be convenient to ignore it if it was real? Legitimate evidence of extraterrestrial life would be, by and large, the most significant event in human history, and incredibly inconvenient to ignore for a virtually unlimited number of reasons.

Information overflow causes people to ignore even the most dire and well recorded parts of science (see climate change). Why would this be any different? Its socially taboo. Its also scientifically taboo. There are lots of ways to fake imagery these days. People prefer to believe what they already believe even in the face of massive amounts of evidence to the contrary. Thats well proven.

A video of something you can't readily identify is not an evidence of space aliens. It's not even an evidence of it being extra-terrestrial. It could very well be a normal aeroplane or an optical illusion. Given that one is far more likely than the other, it's hard to assume that it's from the outer space. There is no actual evidence of aliens, I'm afraid.

Actually the few cases that remain unexplained are exactly that sort of evidence (or some other intelligent control). Sorry to say but you obviously havent looked at the actual evidence from military personal and equipment that show high speed right angle turns of devices that defy the laws of physics as we understand them. There are literally 1000s of cases on record about this that have been left in the unexplainable category.

Well can you find any such cases amongst the released 130,000 pages and link to them? It would really help your case.

The ability to ignore things has no bearing on whether those things exist.
