"Plans to create a "medical physiological UAP effects program"

Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a relatively new medical treatment that uses electromagnetism to change the brain’s neural networks. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved TMS machines to treat major depressive disorder, migraines and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the therapy is rigorously studied — with published scientific research proving its safety and effectiveness. One of the risks of TMS is its ability to induce mania, said Todd Hutton, president of the national Clinical TMS Society and chief medical director of the Southern California TMS Center. Mania is a “distinct period of abnormally and persistently elevated, expansive, or irritable mood” along with “abnormally and persistently increased goal-directed activity or energy” lasting at least one week, according to the American Psychiatric Association. In extreme cases it can lead to a psychotic episode.
And treatments continued after a mid-July weekend when while at home, Surmont said he “felt a kind of pressure with my brain that I'd never, ever felt before or since, and I didn't know what to make of it other than it was a peculiar sensation. “Then I had a blinding flash of light,” he said, “and I heard my mother speak to me.” ) Surmont’s brain was wide open, he said, and he could interact with everything around him. He spent hours communicating with the sun and trees in the backyard. They explained to him how the human and spiritual forms were brought together. He walked through the beginning of time and a tide overtook him.
He also signed a research agreement in 2017 with the U.S. Department of Defense to test PrTMS. Over a two-week period, Murphy treated 18 special operations personnel in a “proof of concept” evaluation to determine whether the U.S. Special Operations Command should pursue formal research studies using the treatment. The overall goal, according to the agreement, was “improving human performance” in special operations forces.

Good point, maybe not all of them but lots of them for sure, will refer to tic tacs even if they don't look much like a tic tac.
But it does give some insight into cultural perspectives that's difficult to explain if you don't experience it, like in 1947 when people were seeing disks everywhere and there was a reward for finding a disk, people wonder why Brazel would refer to something as a disk that doesn't look much like a disk as apparently happened with the mogul balloon he found near Roswell. (I'm convinced the substantial reward offered for finding a "disk" had a lot to do with that).
Now I'm thinking "Gordon Cooper's UFO" looks like a disk again after talking about disks. Maybe it doesn't really look like a tic tac or a disk, but is more of an indistinct "white blob" (The air force claims they can prove it's a balloon).
So it should probably be called an indiscinct "white blob" as you suggest, but that isn't as catchy as "disk" or "tic tac".
I think you got a little bit ahead of yourself Celly.

We thus focus on the acute and subacute high-level, not chronic low-level exposures and effects. The most important Bandwidth of interestis the range with tissue effects on humans: from about 300 kHz to 300GHz; that is, from about 1 km to 1 mm wave lengths.In particular, we note that many of the effects on tissues [ascurrently with all environmental exposures of Non-IonizingElectromagnetic Field Radiation, toxic effluents, and noise / thermaleffects] are initially incorrectly adduced to be “subclinical” until chroniceffects of low-level effects and/or accumulative doses are recognized.We will be particularly cognizant to not miss this subtlety indetermining harm to persons in the near-field of the possible advancedweapon system applications. We will not (except by reference) discussionizing radiation tissue effects, unless they are adduced to be “MixedField”,
e.g.
the Cash-Landrum case,

).Therefore, since the potential deployment of advanced weaponstechnology is subsumed under this topic, of interest are not only sideeffects associated with possible lift/propulsion field mechanisms ofadvanced craft architectures, but also effects from advanced weaponssystems as well. These include but are not limited to Beam Weapons,and Active Denial Systems (ADS), including High Powered Microwaves(HPM).
B. What is not addressed in this review We are aware of claims that some new and emergent systemsmay be intended to cause harm, and thus even be an intended
weapon system. We make no attempt herein to validate any claims: that is certainly the overarching goal of the ADVANCED AEROSPACE WEAPONSYSTEM APPLICATIONS PROGRAM, but not of this study. There is ampleprecedent in US history for utilizing a separate analytic framework for Verification and Compliance issues, as in the lag in our recognizing Former Soviet Union and Chinese systems utilizing infrasonic, laser-blinding, and NIEMR weapons that went unappreciated by our Intelligence Agencies for two decades. Historically, the IC (IntelligenceCommunity) adduces verification first, claims of injury secondly, and compliance after lengthy State-Sponsored discursive. We will not make that mistake. Beyond this, from a sociological perspective, expansion of this theme may also include the effects on humans en masse, namely inducement of hysteria, alteration or solidification of belief systems, alteration/destruction of social structures, group dynamics,etc., the analyses of which would require expertise in a great number of fields including sociology, anthropology, psychology, etc. For this broader perspective see Technical Study 9: Human Interface."

Anyway, the PM article is a good read but hardly earth shaking. As expected.
Never Ship Empty : Kent Islanders develop system to streamline cargo ship operations
Jan 10, 2010
Kent Islanders Luis Elizondo and John Robert.... formed Never Ship Empty Inc. They have come up with a revolutionary approach to ocean shipping in which the cargo ship is treated much like the 18-wheeler or the freight train part of it goes on to a new job while the other part remains behind to be unloaded....
Last February [2009] they received a patent for their concept, clearing the way for the project to move to the next stage.....
Stardem and also Here
IDEA FOR HOW SHIPS CAN TRIM TURNAROUND TIMES
Driving over the Bay Bridge on his way to work about four years ago, Luis Elizondo routinely found himself thinking about the large ships he saw waiting in long queues on their way to Baltimore to unload their cargo. Elizondo figured the waiting that crews endure at ports around the world must be wasteful and costly....
So he put his analytical mind to work. Researching the shipping and cargo industry, he and his partner, John Robert, came up with a new way for ships to move cargo around the world....
The next steps for Elizondo and Robert involve partnering with the University of Houston for a feasibility study that would further test their ideas. That study is expected to begin shortly...
Baltimore Sun - Nov 2009
What you will probably never hear a UFOlogist quote, but it's completely true, is that Zamora said the UFO looked like a balloon. But he also said it had some kind of landing legs or struts which didn't make sense if it was a balloon, because balloons don't have those...at least I didn't think so until Anthony Bragalia posted a picture of a balloon that seemed to fit Zamora's balloon with legs description perfectly. Bragalia found some other pieces of the story that all seem to add up to what he thinks is a good possibility this may be what Zamora saw, accompanied with some pyrotechnics and white costumes worn by the local students who were notorious for their pranks.

cylindrical UFOs are not a fresh phenomenon - eg, wasn't Zamora's 1964 white object cylindrical, too?
A lot of good points, and I don't understand the "why" either.
