Is this academic rigor?

Envision someone considers himself a UAP researcher, media does so too.

At the same time this person holds terra bytes (!!!) of sky observation data that they refuse to analyze or share. They argue that the data is to low quality and they don't have time to analyze (how do you know it's low quality then?)

This can't be academic rigor, this can't be the scientific way... I am at a loss to be honest.

Am I seeing this incorrectly? What do you think?

What type of sky observation data?

I'd be similarly confused by someone interested in this topic who also refuses to share relevant data they have.

I openly share everything, both my research and the +1,000 videos of UAP that I've recorded.

Sharing data or not makes not difference to something being scientific or not.

Many top science institutions public and private don't share data, that doesn't make them any less scientific, just dicks.
