I need some clarification on your first question. When you say, "under the definition being used, ...," what term are
you talking about -- the definition of what? Also, where you ask about the term "foreign," are you asking about the
use of the term in my previous statement, or are you asking about using that term outside of AATIP to describe "UAP
encounters or events involving technology that was not readily identified"?
