I’m not in the US so this doesn’t really apply to me, but in general, insofar as public pressure goes, there’s probably a dozen more important issues to spend that political capital on than UFOs. Again, I’ll consider it important if there’s ever any independent evidence that this is a thing. Absent that, I accept the risk that I may indeed be ignoring the most important and perfect cover-up in history, but my bet is still solidly on it being a nothingburger.
I think that public pressure has an effect on Congress and the depth to which it investigates issues.
Congressmen who drive such inquiries care about what their voters and the media think about them pursuing it.
