My history with the topic is a back and forth from believer to skeptic a few times in my life. It wasn't until a few months ago when my own internal probability meter of whether there is something to all of this finally reached "more likely than not".
Listening to Eric Weinstein, watching the UAP hearing seeing the investigation behind the MH370 videos unfold in real time, this all made me dive deeper.
That's interesting. I had the opposite reaction to those hearings. Reading In Plain Sight definitely led me to believe that something odd is going on. I'm still not sure where to rank aliens on the list of possible explanations though.

Agreed, if I had to guess, maybe it's something like
- 90% misidentifying
- 9% advanced man-made tech
- 1% actual NHI

I'd add "Intentional psyop" to the list, although perhaps that falls under "misidentifying". Plus, it's not like just one of these is the explanation. Taking the incidents case by case, some of these explanations are more likely than others.
What sustains my interest in the topic is that there is no plausible explanation (that I've seen) that accounts for the full set of documented incidents.

You're right, psyop should be separate from "mis-ID", something like 25% probably as well.
