It was an afternoon of much anticipation and excitement - followed by the saddest trombone sound echoing across the Internet.

The long-awaited report from US intelligence officials on unidentified flying objects dropped this afternoon, marking one of the first times the US government officially weighed in on strange sightings in the sky. Their big reveal, however, was seen by many as more of a shrug.

My first reaction was knee-jerk. It came from my frustration with how government ultimately works. The thing is, they do absolutely know a lot more than they are letting on. There is just zero way they don't.

So it still feels a bit like a dance, but I suppose a necessary one.
