What is behind the decline in UFO sightings?

This month, the two major online sites for reporting UFOs \u2013 the National UFO Reporting Center and the Mutual UFO Network \u2013 both documented steep drops in worldwide sightings. The declines started around 2014, when reports were at a peak. They have since reduced drastically to 55% of that year\u2019s combined total, many UFO interest groups have folded, and numerous previously classified government documents have been disclosed.
Possible answers as to why sightings are decreasing are varied. A key factor, however, may be that more people simply don\u2019t care any more. As we are accustomed to being inundated with wild claims churned out by politicians, media and advertisers, the next report of a UFO is no more believed than the long-range weather forecast.
According to the cultural historian Stuart Walton, \u201cBelief in UFOs is definitely in a state of decline, along with much else that could be classed as paranormal. Part of the reason is that the technology for providing documentary evidence of such matters is now widely available to everybody with a smartphone, and such purported evidence as there is on YouTube looks extremely threadbare.\u201d
Furthermore, government disclosure of its own video footage isn\u2019t helping to maintain belief. Joseph Baker, sociology professor at Tennessee State University, says: \u201cIt\u2019s actually better for UFOs when ufologists can claim that \u2018the powers that be know everything and are hiding it from us\u2019 rather than seeing that the government appears to have basically the same info about UFOs as the public: namely grainy, inconclusive visual evidence.\u201d
