UFOs have finally gone mainstream. The UFO community is not thrilled.

The president of the United States just addressed the American people on UFOs — but it wasn't the extraterrestrial revelation true believers have been waiting for.

After decades on the mockable fringes, unidentified aerial phenomena are finally major mainstream news. But the downing of a Chinese spy balloon and three other likely benign objects is an anti-climax for many interested in UFOs, who had hoped for something a little less terrestrial.

Many in the UFO community — which ranges from science-minded investigators to faith-based believers — had been hoping recent moves in Washington meant the government was finally getting ready to spill the beans on everything it has collected over decades on unexplained aerial phenomena, even if that didn't include evidence of extraterrestrial life.
