Any number of wacko ideas will always exist for a simple empirical reason: It is not possible to prove a negative. Sightings of witches have fallen out of fashion.
I think there would have been multiple deathbed spilling-of-the-beans stories by now if aliens were real, let alone coming to Earth. As for running for office, what truly sane person would want to? Skeletons being dragged from the closet? Mud baths? Partisan prosecutors digging into your past looking for decades-old misdeeds? No thank you!
The quote you have from President Obama about UFO's and guards taking a selfie tells me all I ever need to know about government conspiracies. There is simply no way you can keep a conspiracy quiet in the government. Look how quickly Watergate unraveled. Somebody will always give it up.
I'm not surprised that Florida is a hotbed for UFO sightings. It fits with the zeitgeist.
Back in the 1950s I saw a great, whacking round white thing in the sky over our neighborhood. Everyone thought it was a flying saucer. My girlfriend even drew a picture illustrating multiple LGMs (little green men) peeking over the edge, looking down at us. The next day, our local newspaper showed a photograph and even identified the model of giant U.S. Navy weather balloon that we were looking at.
Every term, I tell my physics students a fictional story about a man walking into a bar and saying, "I was abducted by aliens last night" to illustrate Occam's Razor, and why professional astronomers believe in aliens, but not visits by aliens.
Not being able to identify an object flying is a UFO. That is a big difference from intelligent life, traveling for millions of years at the speed of light, to find our tiny planet in the middle of nowhere.
There are an estimated 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. Even if a civilization could travel between galaxies, Earth is just one of roughly 100 billion planets in the Milky Way. Finding us specifically, without a massive beacon, is a statistical long shot
Astronomers use tools like the Drake Equation to estimate the number of civilizations. If the odds of intelligent life emerging are greater than 1 in 10²⁴ (one septillion), we are likely not alone in the universe.
However, if intelligence is truly rare, the nearest neighbor could be hundreds of millions of light-years away, making any contact or "finding" of Earth effectively zero. In short, while life might be "teeming" in the universe, the laws of physics and the vastness of space act as a natural barrier to being discovered.
People long to believe in something, and UFOs/aliens satisfy that belief for some. In the meantime, be nice to each other.
To many Floridians drinking contaminated water, to much beer, to much 420, nuclear weapons storage, lots of research facilities and lack of education may explain a lot.
Add brain eating amoeba to the list.
Living between 3 Military bases, off gassing is another possibility.
The UFO release is just another Epstein files distraction! - "Look...over there...little green men! Whew! Dodged the press again. haha"

So, the Epstein files are now the X-files? And, can someone please tell what happened to the stupid
Space Force?

President Obama didn't say "no aliens"-just an alternative explanation. 👽
