Prof. Knuth (http://knuthlab.org/) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University at Albany (SUNY) and is the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Entropy (MDPI). He is a former NASA computer scientist having worked for four years at NASA Ames Research Center in the Intelligent Systems Division designing artificial intelligence algorithms for data analysis in both astrophysics and Earth science. He has 25 years of experience in applying Bayesian and maximum entropy methods to the design of machine learning algorithms for data analysis applied to the physical sciences. His current research interests include the search for and characterization of extrasolar planets, quantum information, signal processing, and autonomous robotics. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed scientific papers and has been invited to give over 80 presentations in 14 countries. Prof. Knuth is the Vice President of Science and Technology for UAPx (http://uapexpedition.org/) and a member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU, https://www.explorescu.org/) where he is working to scientifically study UAPs. He is one of the first scientists to publish a peer-reviewed scientific paper on the flight characteristics of UAPs.

And – there are 4 billion+ good cameras in people’s pockets.
Could Kevin Knuth say why such massive observational resources seem to present no wealth of data?
So do NASA keep secrets?
You could take a photo of any aircraft passing overhead and see wings, tail fins etc – so a round object would be clearly different.
How does a scientist (rather than a “want to believer”) answer such an observation?
