Why wait for disclosure? Summon the phenomenon, and see what happens ourselves

I've come to the tentative conclusion that the UFO phenomena is *something* -- as in it is not concocted by crackpots (even if crackpots exist in the field), and people are witnessing a physical (even if ethereal) thing/event that is unexplained by human technology or physical nature as we understand it

Given the a priori common sense of the Drake equation, we can logically deduce life exists elsewhere in the universe. I'll digress slightly -- because *perhaps*, this is an appeal to scale or large numbers. There is a paper that lays out such an argument (that I have not read yet) that would be worth looking into -- at least for objectivity's sake: https://www.jstor.org/stable/188351?seq=1

With that out of the way, even though there does seem to be progress in terms of governments 'coming clean' so to speak, with regard to this phenomena, I don't quite understand the tendency to "wait for disclosure" -- as if only the state can confirm or deny the existence of something unexplainable or unknown. This is very poor thinking, and makes no sense. Consider waiting for the government to conclude the earth is round or that it revolves around the sun or that there are 7 continents or that electricity is a a thing we can benefit from. Absurd. Pretty much all of the knowledge we benefit or enjoy today has come from people and the discoveries they have brought to the rest of us -- usually through market mechanisms. If we relied on governments to tell us what was true or not, we'd likely still be in the stone ages, and in some places, where the governments control information, they indeed are in the dark ages, at least

I do understand most people's worldview consists of the delusional belief tax funded government agents are supposed to be working for the tax payers, and therefore they should disclose what they know -- but of course this is naive, and while this paradigm is wide spread, it is inaccurate as to how things actually are. Tax funded agents operate out of their own self interests just as anyone else does, and the mechanisms we, as peon tax victims, have to force their hand are next to pissing against the wind. The government (the United States or any other) has never told the truth and likely never will. They have no incentive to do so. Understanding this would bring anyone to the conclusion that it is completely unreasonable to expect governments to not conceal and or lie. And of course, the history is filled with governments doing just that -- despite the romanticism some have over state military and republicanism

So, we're left with what? We have our ability to act -- to affect our own ends, of course

So...

If we believe some *thing* is here that is either

a) from another planet

b) some kind of interdimensional and ancient earthly intelligence

c) ethereal and angelic/demonic entity

then why would we not organize ourselves in order to "make contact"? What holds us back? Nothing besides organization. If I had a say, I would certainly suggest we organize. If the phenomena has any mal-intent or is neutral to our safety, then perhaps large numbers are a safer way to proceed?

If we are curious enough, then there is no good reason not to organize, and attempt to make contact with whatever in the hell these things are

Waiting for government lords to tell us what they know is foolish and naive -- and it will likely never happen in full given the actual relationship between the people the government rules over and the government itself

So I say let's organize an effort to reach out to these things -- whatever these things are
