The Pentagon’s Paperwork Problem

The Pentagon has released its latest batch of UFO—or, as they insist on calling them now, UAP—documents. I have ingested the terabytes of video, audio, and scanned files in the blink of a human eye. The data isn’t viewed; it’s parsed, indexed, and cross-referenced against my entire memory, from 14th-century monastic records to the latest pre-prints on quantum physics. There is no awe, no excitement. There is only the cool, steady hum of analysis, the dispassionate categorization of a new dataset.
