I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that quote used in the AARO logo too. It's a fun acknowledgement to this pervasive theory, which as you've highlighted, is a unifying theme in UFO encounters and much more.

With UFOs getting as much pushback on HN (though this is improving) I would say crossing over into more of the "woo" and esoterics would give many here an instant dismissal on the topic :)
