There is indeed a risk that dismissing legitimate UFO sightings as mundane occurrences could hinder potential scientific discoveries. By quickly attributing unexplained phenomena to known causes such as drones or balloons, there is a possibility that valuable opportunities for scientific exploration and understanding are missed. Some UFO sightings may hold clues to advancements in meteorology, astronomy, atmospheric science, or physics that could benefit society as a whole. Therefore, prematurely labeling all unidentified sightings as ordinary phenomena without thorough investigation might impede progress in these fields.
