In my opinion UFOs are interesting because there is small probability that something new is behind this phenomenon. And if so, this means that our picture of the world is wrong. And if our world model is wrong this means that new existential risks are possible. I wrote before on lesswrong on it and was massively downvoted.

I actually downloaded your paper a few days ago. I haven't read it yet but plan on doing so very soon.
