In before “They are just trying to make a buck”

I thought C to C was more of a tabloid entertainment idea not a serious science outlet.

It is, and the guests are normally folks getting ready to sell a book or do a speaking tour. Fluffy, fantastical nonsense. Basically, overnight boogieman stories to entertain long haul truckers.

It used to be that if you went through the AM radio dial at night you would hear the Coast to Coast program on station after station after station.

Some additional commentary:

Quite the profound statement from Dr Gary Nolan on the consensus thinking regarding the topic:

So this Dr. Gary Nolan speaks on behalf of "the most knowledgeable people"? Did they hire him or elect him?

Haven't you seen an episode of Mastermind where a contestant says their special subject is Harry Potter?

Here is his wikipedia entry.

The crucial text reads:

Anomalous materials[edit]

Since the formation of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force in 2020, multiple publications have reported on Nolan's involvement with The Pentagon and the CIA investigating samples of materials supposedly ejected at purported sites of UFO sightings.^[32][33] He is the lead author of the first study published in a peer-reviewed journal about anomalous materials associated with UFOs. The study, which has Jacques Vallée as a co-author,^[33][34] reviews modern analytic procedures, including mass spectrometry, for characterization, analysis, and identification of unknown materials and how such have been applied thus far to study materials that, according to witnesses, dropped from hovering UFOs such as materials of the 1977 Council Bluffs incident.^[35]

Is there a link for this peer reviewed paper?

Yes, I've never seen one in which a contestant says their special subject is "the most knowledgeable people".

Some interesting perspective from astronaut Edgar Mitchell:

One more segment to add to this list of government /military people speaking out on their experiences with the UAP/extraterrestrial topic.

This is outgoing New Hampshire legislator Henry McElroy back in 2013:

Adding to the list of government/military personnel on the topic at hand:

Sen. Richard Blumenthal-

"The American people have no idea about the intensity of the threat in space":

More Dr Gary Nolan. Years ago, Dwight Eisenhower warned about the "military industrial complex"

Improved instrumental techniques, including isotopic analysis, applicable to the characterization of unusual materials with potential relevance to aerospace forensics

This is only the abstract, full doc behind pay wall, but my sense is this covers "improved...techniques" but not actual tests of unusual materials

I think this video is one of the worse debunking, 23 minutes to say everyone's camera is out of focus and several Navy pilots and DoD officials are either part of the hoax or totally clueless.

I thought all the crashed UFOs were sent to Bigelow's BA(D)AS company.

That's not what the video said. Did you actually watch it?

Yes, of course.  What did I miss?

He explained how the image devices work, what all the numbers on the screens mean (which everyone ignores), the distance and direction of the objects, and how fast they were flapping their wings.
