Good points, all. FYI, here are more details on that "government agency" you had asked about.

It is a professional group of about 100 analysts, scientists, researchers, technical ops, etc. Satellite and photo interp.

The chief of the shop was interviewed last year on their methodology and how they keep us all safe.

The organization in question is fairly familiar, I believe they have credence; it is known as the "United States Air Force."

I was in the Air Force for 20 years. I can assure you, not everyone has credence. I recall one James Clapper. If that dude says anything, I automatically don’t believe a word of it. Since I have very little trust in government, let’s wait for more honorable men like Mike Pompeo and Donald Trump to comment on it. I learned from my Vietnam experience, not to be too trusting in government.

Air Farce is more swampy than other branches, though. They don't want their raison d'être to go away.
