Ross Douthat argues UFO allegations should be testable by journalists

What was said

""With UFOs, like there are concrete claims made about objects that operate in physical reality that are observed by let's say Navy aviators and there are other concrete claims about supposed secret programs that the federal government has. And those are questions that journalists should be able to answer.""

Ross Douthat argues that UAP/UFO reporting differs from personal paranormal accounts because it involves claims about physical objects and alleged secret US government programmes. He says journalists should be able to investigate such assertions rather than treat them as permanently unknowable.
