UFOs, Alien Intelligence and a Scientific 'Embargo'

A conversation about UFOs raises the idea that science as an institution faces an embargo on investigating them.

As discussed on the show, these things exist, but we do not know what they are. If science looked into them, there is "a really good possibility that they would determine that these are extraterrestrial vehicles under intelligent control."

Why science may not be investigating UFOs

On whether scientists already know, the reply on the show was: "I don't think that science as an institution is there." "There's an embargo on them looking into" it, because the objects might resolve into extraterrestrial vehicles. If they do, alien intelligence would represent another sovereign entity.

Is an embargo keeping science away from UFOs?
