If the numerous tales of crashed UFOs with alien bodies are true (and I suspect many of them are), then the world's various governments definitely know more than they're admitting. But just how much information do they actually possess regarding the pilots of otherworldly craft?
Here in the United States we can't get a straight answer from any of the top officials whom we expect would possess every shred of knowledge available on the subject of UFOs and their operators. At some points in history, certain figures such as the late Senator Barry Goldwater and Congressman Steven Schiff tried to shed some light on things by engaging those "in the know", only to be denied or deceived by the powers holding the cards. President Gerald Ford told us nothing new once he became president, though he had earlier pushed for information before he took up residence in the Whitehouse. The same occurred with President Jimmy Carter—once he took office he clammed up regarding the UFO phenomenon, though he was very vocal on the subject while running for the position of President of the United States. Even Senator John McCain, current presidential nominee called for more investigation into the UFO matter.
Being humans, our human nature tends to make us mistrust those who are in power when they obviously keep certain information from us—a lot of this is mistrust is well-deserved based on history. But then our imagination can get the best of us, and we fall prey to our own fears, paranoia, and then we are wide open to others who exploit our human nature and feed us downright lies or exaggerations regarding what certain people in power know but aren't telling us.
So, did President Eisenhower have a clandestine meeting with aliens at Edwards Air Force Base in 1954? Did our governments agree to allow aliens to abduct some of us in exchange for their technology? Were the aliens allowed to take up residence in an underground facility in Dulce, New Mexico? Well, it's all possible, but it's also very possible that these are only rumors or outright lies.
What if the only knowledge our government has of UFOs and those that pilot them is that 1) they exist, 2) they come and go in our atmosphere and airspace as they will, 3) our military pilots have had some disasters while chasing them (when the UFOs allow them to get close enough). and 4) that these vehicles sometimes crash and provide us with technological mysteries to unravel and try to put to our own uses?
In this day and age we would expect that if a new foreign government came into existence our representatives would hold meetings with them to establish diplomatic relations, and this would make national headlines in all the public papers and newscasts. True, a new country or government would be mundane and not disturbing in the same sense that a newly-found species of intelligent beings would, but would this not be standard diplomatic protocol? But what if this new foreign entity had capabilities and technology far surpassing anything the contemporary "superpowers" had, and they chose to come and go as they pleased within our country and didn't care to involve themselves in diplomacy or formal introductions of themselves? Such may be the case with the current lack of information coming from the world's governments now regarding extraterrestrial races that are likely visiting our planet and have for hundreds if not thousands of years.
It's obvious that our governments weren't formally acquainted with pilots of UFOs before the crash in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 based on the official reaction in the way the press was handled. First the army issued a statement that a crashed "flying disc" had been recovered from a ranch north of Roswell, then the statement was retracted and damage control was initiated to cover up what had been revealed, and now there have been several different official explanations for the incident over the last six decades. Had diplomatic relations or even hostile relations been established with extraterrestrials, no press conference or public statement would have been made at all, thereby showing the United States military's naivete and unfamiliarity with the subject of alien visitors. Had the executive branch of the government already been in contact with these visitors, the military would have already had orders not to publicize an extraordinary event such as the infamous Roswell incident whether the military heads were told any details of the relationship or not.
At this point, let's discuss the "Holy Grail" to most ufologists—official governmental disclosure of all or part of the knowledge held by our government regarding UFOs and alien visitation. Let's imagine a scenario where President Eisenhower did in fact establish diplomatic relations, agreements, arrangements, or formal pacts with an alien race at Edwards Air Force Base in the '50s which presumably would still be currently in effect in one form or another. Let's say he agreed to allow the aliens to abduct a certain number of humans and run experiments on them, or something equally as sinister. There is no way the government today could admit its knowledge of these things any more than it could admit to selling nuclear weapons to a known enemy of our country. This would cause tremendous public outcry and irreparable damage to he public's trust of its government even if it occurred half a century ago.
Now let's imagine a scenario where instead of the government establishing formal relations with the aliens, the government has never been approached and all its attempts at communication have been met with no response by the aliens as they flit around our skies, sometimes taunting our military pilots with close fly-bys or hovering over sensitive areas such as nuclear missile sites or the Whitehouse. The only information our government has on these mysterious visitors has come from crashed vehicles, radar, visual observation, and witness reports. While crashed vehicles would provide the most information about the visitors in this scenario, I doubt the captain would've left a "log" as we know it—in fact, even if the aliens have a written language there is no guarantee we could translate it. So basically, the mystery has grown along with the government's frustration because it can't make the aliens communicate their purpose for being here, and it can't make them do anything at all really. The government's efforts have been met with a "no respect" response—the same government who is supposed to protect its people from invasion can't even get a word out of the aliens as to what their intentions are. Now, what kind of disclosure can we expect? Far easier to bury our heads in the sand and pretend that UFOs don't exist—they're simply overactive imaginations, hallucinations, or misidentified mundane objects. Far easier to try to assure the public that there is nothing to the UFO phenomenon at all by commissioning scientific panels to mislead and deceive the public. Far easier to simply turn a blind eye rather than to admit to its people that our government knows aliens visit our airspace daily and they don't know why and there's nothing that can be done about it.
Which scenario is correct, if either? And will we ever know how much the government knows?
