THEY'RE ONLY TELLING US PART OF THE STORY

For a long time, talking seriously about UFOs could ruin a person’s reputation. Pilots and military personnel learned to keep quiet. Eyewitness accounts were met with ridicule, and any reference to possible non-human intelligence was immediately dismissed as fantasy. However, there are now government agencies dedicated specifically to investigating these phenomena, procedures for the military to report them, and official records that acknowledge encounters that still lack a definitive explanation.

That, in and of itself, represents an extraordinary change.

AARO, the office created by the U.S. Department of Defense to investigate anomalous phenomena, maintains a list of cases that remain unsolved. This does not automatically mean they are extraterrestrial spacecraft. Some will likely turn out to have conventional explanations. But we also cannot make the opposite mistake: taking the lack of an explanation as proof that nothing extraordinary is happening.

The problem is even greater because we don't necessarily see everything they see. The U.S. Armed Forces have radars, satellites, infrared cameras, electro-optical systems, and sensors whose true capabilities remain classified. When certain documents are finally made public, some of the information may be redacted precisely to protect the capabilities of those systems, military installations, operations, and intelligence methods.

Therefore, there is a fundamental difference between saying “There is not enough public evidence to prove that this is of extraterrestrial origin.” and state “We know he's not an alien”. They are not the same thing.".

NASA officially maintains that it has no credible evidence that the UAP that the observed phenomena are of extraterrestrial origin. That statement must be taken seriously. But it must also be read in its entirety. The agency itself acknowledges that the quantity and quality of the available data on many of these events are insufficient to reach firm scientific conclusions.

And that's where the real problem begins.

If the world’s best observation systems occasionally record phenomena that cannot be publicly identified, the proper scientific response should not be to mock them. It should be to investigate. To measure. To compare data. To release records when national security permits. And, above all, to acknowledge with absolute clarity what we do not yet know.

At CAÑASANTA, we start from a clear position: we believe that the phenomenon UFO It deserves to be taken seriously, and the possibility of non-human intelligence should not be dismissed simply because it is uncomfortable or extraordinary. That does not mean turning every point of light into an alien spacecraft. Most sightings probably have a terrestrial explanation. That is precisely why those that survive the filters, expert analysis, and available information are far more interesting.

We also believe there is a long history of government secrecy surrounding the phenomenon. Part of that secrecy may stem from perfectly understandable military reasons. Revealing exactly what a radar can detect—from what distance or with what precision—also means revealing those capabilities to foreign adversaries. But that explanation does not necessarily answer all the questions.

Because after decades of denials, mockery, and silence, the issue that supposedly didn't deserve attention now has offices, researchers, hearings, military protocols, archives, and official resources dedicated to studying it. Something has changed.

Perhaps we are not dealing with visitors from other worlds. Perhaps some of these phenomena are the result of classified human technologies, instrument errors, or natural events that are still poorly understood. There is also another possibility: that an extremely small fraction of the cases represents something we have not yet been able to explain. We do not have sufficient public evidence to claim that we know the answer. But neither do we accept that anyone should turn the absence of a public answer into a definitive answer.

With this article, CAÑASANTA launches its section dedicated to the Ufology. Here, we will examine declassified documents, military videos, pilot testimonies, scientific research, historical cases, and new evidence. We will distinguish between hoaxes and truly puzzling cases, and between extraordinary claims and what can be verified.

We're not here to prove that every UFO is of extraterrestrial origin. We're here to do something much more uncomfortable:

to keep asking what those things are that no one has yet been able to explain.
