Seems like a dumb pr move from them tbh. Everyone is more likely to give them money if everyone thinks that they're studying aliens.

That doesn't mean they should lie and say they are studying aliens, but they should have just let people run away with their imaginations.

They are studying aliens, it's just that when they think they might be looking at aliens it's "organic molecules detected in clouds on Venus" and not "weird thing in the sky one time, iunno".
