>The thing is it has been looked into for 75 years, but there's no information forthcoming.

I imagine for a lot of those 75 years it was just talking to pilots and collecting details/anecdotes. Consider how far technology has come since then and it's not an insane idea to consider that we've only recently come to the point where we may be able to glean some information from them.

>Information is apparently being held back from the office of the president.

The President isn't the king of America. The prime duties of the President as the office was originally conceived is as a chief diplomat and the overall commander of the military. I'm sure the president doesn't get briefed on every single CIA mission and undercover FBI operation in existence, because unless that president has a background in counterterrorism or law enforcement, what's the point? It's not like any of the last presidents were physicists or engineers who would be able to lend insight into the situation.

Doesn't really affect my point of his underlying assumption that there's nobody in the US government already looking into this. Somehow we've been hearing tales of UFOs for years and they've just been saying "oh it's just people seeing things."

Considering there's been recent declassifications of reports about government investigations into UFOs, I think we can safely say that this is being looked into.

This just in: Navy pilot unaware of the fact that other entities of the federal government are probably already trying to investigate random objects flying through the sky.

I'd guess most of these people would also agree with the statement of "we only use 10% of our brains" despite that being just a shitty scifi plot point.
