Sometimes the low-level criminals do the good guys a really big favour
by exposing serious vulnerabilities before the _really_ bad guys come
along and cause massive damage.

Talking about heroes in general, do you see the people speaking out about
UAPs in the US as heroes ?

(Or, OTOH, are they considered to be cranks or part of a general plan
to prepare the world for certain revelations ?)

IOW, how you look at this depends on what your vested interests are.
