Alpha Opportunity
Alpha Thesis
Our AI estimates a true probability of 21.0% vs the market's 89.0%, identifying a 68.0% edge on the NO side. Historically, declassification of UFO files has been sporadic and often politically motivated. The base rate for significant declassification events is low, as they occur infrequently and are often limited in scope. There is significant public interest and some political momentum for UFO transparency, as evidenced by recent releases and statements from the Trump administration. However, the actual declassification of new files is contingent on several factors, including political will and the availability of new information.
