Michio Kaku on UFOs - South China Morning Post
From 18:50
Ted Roe is a co-founder and the Executive Director of the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena, NARCAP.org, which was established in 1999. He was born and raised in Great Falls, Montana during the 1960s and 70s and his interest in UAP and UAP research arose from local events and direct experience. Alongside his work with Dr. Richard Haines and the team at NARCAP, he has established and administrates the International Association of UAP Researchers, IAUAPR.org.
I don't think you understand. There's just too much evidence that it's all been a lie. The conspiracy is not to hide the existence of extraterrestrials. It's to make people believe in it so completely that they question nothing.
Kaku sounds extremely naive and ignorant in that video, but it is certainly nothing new...he has been sounding that way ever since he started parroting some of the claims TTSA made about those navy videos, which are actually quite uninteresting, and do not show anything at all like what Kaku and TTSA have claimed.

Here he is again talking to the South China Morning Post and he's now expanded the narrative to speculate about hypersonic drones and 'probably cybernetic' objects.
“We now know they fly between Mach 5 and Mach 20 — five to 20 times the speed of sound,” Kaku said. “We know they zigzag so fast that any pilot would be crushed by centrifugal force. That they have no exhaust that we can see.”
Mick West and Thunderf00t have both thoroughly debunked those three videos Kaku is talking about and have shown that they do not demonstrate what Kaku claims they do, so Kaku has completely lost all credibility when it comes to the UFO topic.
The problem here is that he is wrong. The three videos do not show anything that is outside the bounds of human science. In fact, they most likely show rather banal things, viewed in an unusual way
Frankly, Kaku is an embarassment to not have figured out himself that the claims he's making, partly parroted from unreliable sources like TTSA, are false.
Kaku describes these videos as "testable evidence", and we can in fact test hypotheses on them to see if they fit. However, Kaku seems not to have tested them himself and is instead relying on the ideas of others. The "To The Stars Academy," for example, still claims that "Go Fast" is going fast, and is close to the water. This is demonstrably wrong. Likewise, others have interpreted the camera movements in Flir1 as object movements, or have interpreted the optical rotation of an infrared glare in "Gimbal" as a physical rotation of a craft. These are all demonstrable unsupported interpretations that Kaku has somehow been convinced are true.
So no, the burden of proof has not shifted. The Navy has no current obligation to prove that Mach 20 craft that zigzag at impossibly high g-forces are not aliens. There's no such obligation because no such craft have yet been demonstrated to exist. We don't know exactly what these videos show, but they don't show anything impossible, and they are well explained by ordinary events.
....we have mountains of videotapes taken by united states navy pilots. We've analyzed them frame by frame. This is a gold mine of data. We now realize that they travelled between mach 3 and mach 20. Up to 20 times the speed of sound. The g forces they experience when they zigzag is several hundred times the force of gravity. On the planet earth they can descend eighty thousand feet within a matter of just a few seconds and apparently they can even dive under water now ...
...it's also stated that Bigelow came sniffing around the NARCAP files wanting to purchase the originals (presumably to censor them from the public) but politely got told to GTFO.
As many of you know, I have retired from actively running the HBCC UFO websites so that I may spend more time with my family and the things that I enjoy. I appreciate all the support you have given me over the years and I have an announcement to make. Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS), administered by Robert T. Bigelow, has purchased the HBCC UFO websites. BAASS will investigate, analyze and periodically publish updates of UAP cases that the public submits. Please continue to serve our community well and support the HBCC UFO websites by submitting your reports as you have in the past.

There is no disclosure to ridicule! The only thing we can ridicule are the endless streams of claims that disclosure is coming, when the disclosure that the people who talk about it all the time refer to is never coming. John Greenewald believes adamantly that the government is hiding things about the UFO topic and they have been doing do for many decades. He has pursued more disclosure though FOIA than perhaps any other person on Earth, yet he will also be the first to tell you that the "Disclosure" you seek will never come. That's true whether the undisclosed tech is alien as perhaps you believe, or classified military tech as I believe. They just are never going to disclose either one of those, there is no reason to do so and plenty of reasons to not do so. Greenewald talks about it many times but here's one example:

Maybe he has lost all credibility to you Arb, but he has been the public face of disclosure that you seemingly like to readily ridicule.

"What I'm trying to say, is this document here actually supports the theory that this probably is training material, part of the Rosetta stone for uncovering what is a "real UAP" and what is not. And if there's a little public deceit in the process, so be it. They've done it for 70 plus years, why not continue the trend.
They're not coming clean.
Hate to tell ya, people hate me for saying that.
There's going to be no disclosure. How do I know?
They've shut it down from top to bottom, classifying everything and won't release it.
Now, I'm still trying through legal channels. But the way to do it through the press office has all been shut down.
And the time it takes to get answers and so forth, it's just not productive for any of us to continue that way.
So yeah, the FOIA, as much as some people say "wow the FOIA's never going to give you anything", the FOIA's given you the best UFO official documentation that's ever been produced. Sure, there's been some leaked stuff, but you know what? Maybe there's more to this story than meets the eye, and that goes back to Susan Gough's quote:
"Including those incursions initially designated as UAP"...
It was only like an hour when people were putting around that batman balloon, that it was solvable. That in itself muddies the water and confuses the heck out of everything"
If people are fed stuff, it appears to me usually to be along the lines of what Greenewald describes in the above video, it's incomplete and misrepresented information with the intention to "muddy the waters" as Greenewald put it. The most obvious example is the batman balloon, but also the "pyramid" UFO leaked by Corbell is another good example. It's not quite "disinformation" in that it's a real video made by Navy personnel, but it does muddy the waters because any competent analyst should have been able to figure out it's not anything like a pyramid and that description of the video IS disinformation. So it looks to me like when they give UAP leaks to anybody like Knapp, Corbell, McMillan and whoever else (Kako is not confirmed), the intent is not to disclose anything, but it seems the intent is most likely to muddy the waters as Greenewald mentions above. I have to agree with Greenewald on that part of his video, that muddying the waters appears to be part of the UFO/UAP strategy of the government. I don't agree with 100% of what he says in the video but that part I quoted makes sense to me.
More to Mirageman's point, just my opinion but I think he is fed more information and is trying to disseminate it publicly in a palatable fashion; more then we realize. Does that make him a propagandist or proponent?

Concerning my own double nighttime sighting of a UAP (foo fighter???) in November, 1976: I have pretty much convinced myself, that I was looking at an intelligently operated, exogenous incursion, from something that came from outside of our star system.

“But in reality, it’s not as of yet a big issue since UFOs are still abstract to the vast majority of people on the planet, who rarely give the issue much thought.”
At the end of the day, I always wondered if people knew the truth would they be in the street with pitchforks or back to the daily tasks of their lives like no big deal. I suspect the latter.
But your point is taken. Until they meet an alien, most won’t really give a damn
