I just don't really get it for justifying funding. Like if you take the Nimitz encounter (which was like 15 years ago) there's no way you can look at that and think it's the Chinese, just based on the capability they're claiming.
I put this in my other comment, but it's like skipping the WMD fabrication and jumping to "we need to invade Iraq cause Saddam Hussein has Santa Claus held hostage"
If they're genuinely ET propes, they might not exist to make contact at all. They might only exist to monitor and/or test military capabilities. I don't think first encounter is going to involve little green men walking out of a saucer in DC, it's going to be a downed automated surveillance device from a civilization that might not even exist anymore.
i KNOW. It kinda makes me insane.

Assuming these things are real at all...
