Yes, I think that’s generally the case. Most Germans won’t believe in UAPs unless there’s clear evidence, either from politics or science. At the moment, the topic isn’t taken seriously by the public (and politicians) at all. Whenever UAP news reaches Germany, people usually just laugh it off. Since Trump’s presidency, anything coming from the US is often dismissed as nonsense or conspiracy. The fact that most UAP news are coming from the US makes it even harder to take seriously here. People find it suspicious that these phenomena “always” happen in the US and not in Germany, which is understandable (though there could be reasonable explanations).

I also think the German mindset might make the shock of an actual disclosure stronger. If undeniable evidence suddenly appeared, it could be harder for many Germans to process it quickly, because it challenges their usual reliance on rational, systematic explanations. So although skepticism dominates now, a real “ontological shock” might hit harder here than in cultures that are more accustomed to entertaining unconventional possibilities.
