I strongly suspect that new high energy physics advances will come from investigating astronomically generated phenomenon.
- Gravitational Waves for probing extremely large and small objects
- Cosmic Rays for probing high energy particles.
- Solar probes to detect particles made from stellar phenomena
Oh yes, definitely new physics will come out of studying grainy footage of unidentified objects that are most likely drones or birds and well known optical phenomena that "military experts" can't seem to grasp (parallax).
Although to get anything useful out of them would require the radar data, not just the optical data. Much more certain positioning than optical cameras on fast moving platforms.
