Lede text

I have just removed the following content from the lede: However, this possibility [extraterrestrials as a source of UAPs] could not be conclusively ruled out. This text seems to me pro-fringe and a WP:GEVAL violation. Firstly, no such phrase is present in the report, at least not that I could find. Secondly, based upon the report's actual text (p. 29) - "without calibrated sensor data...no report can provide conclusive evidence on the nature of UAP or enable a study into the details of what was witnessed" - my neighbor's cat, which has been missing for several years, also could not be "conclusively ruled out" as a source of the unexplained UAPs/UFOs. Although some editors might not agree, I believe explicit reference to ETs (or any other sensational source) not being ruled out should be removed from the lede.
