I found it quite curious how they defined UAP as “Airborne objects not immediately identifiable” in the last section of the report.
I guess the whole point of dropping the UFO acronym was to change the idea of “objects” for “phenomena”, which is much broader in scope. By keeping the word “objects” in the definition, they make the same mistake of defining upfront what is being reported.
It is an extremely dumb mistake. There are many optical illusions that make almost everyone observe things that are not true. Machines are susceptible to similar kinds of errors.
To name it an object (for most people this means a physical object) is creating a wrong frame of mind. The first focus should be on the observation and the way it was observed.
