    Caveat READ THIS BESIDE MICHAEL GOLD ON THE SAME PANEL, printed page 31 of the same hearing: "because we have got more cameras, more monitoring of national security, we do not know how extensive UAP activity may be over civilian areas." That is sensor bias, and it is the strongest honest objection to reading this clustering as a fact about where UAP are rather than a fact about where the sensors are. It was raised in the same room, on the same day, by a sworn witness, and it travels with this claim.
