I think it can be agreed that most of the curiosity that aliens had
with us was after the first nuclear expolosions put us on their radar.

Every major account of the phenomenon occured in the 40's/50's/60's

Almost any "fresh incident" is pre-1993 at best.  The conclusion can
only be that they have lost interest in us or have been turned away
from
government agencies most prominent in the 1950's.

My opinion which is only at best an opinion is based on the recycled
information from just a few moments in history.

Even this article which is interesting is a bit old and has been
repeated several times on the net.

Filers Files often mentions sightings and even notes they were
photographed or filmed but very very rarely do these images come
to the public eye.  Why?  We can only debate.

UFO Cover-Up Fading Says Legendary White House Correspondent
By Sarah McClendon--White House Correspondent
News Release from the McClendon News Service     

Washington, D.C. -- Unidentified Flying Objects, a term given for many years
to
unexplained sightings of craft in the skies over every state in the Union, are
actual visitors from other worlds, believe a community of scientists and
technicians employed by government.

The real danger to the U. S. and perhaps this whole planet is the government
has
placed such a heavy blanket of secrecy upon this issue. So much secrecy, those
in government who have knowledge showing UFOs are identifiable feel the
subject
cannot be discussed by those in the know without serious repercussions. Others
are afraid their friends and co-workers will think they are crazy if they even
so much as insinuate that UFOs are identifiable as manned craft from outside
the
earth. This particularly applies to newspaper editors and publishers,
reporters
and analysts. Thus the U. S. is denying itself the chance to learn more about
UFOs or to encourage research despite the fact the U. S. stands to gain form
such discussions.

Not publicized but true is that the Clinton administration, soon after coming
to
office, had many briefings on the subject. Laurence Rockefeller provided the
information for the President and Mrs. Clinton. Others provided documents and
verbal briefings to presidential advisors Jack Gibbons (science), Bruce
Lindsay
(personal), Anthony Lake (national security) and Vice President Albert Gore.
About the same time a three hour briefing was given by Dr. Steven Greer to the
sitting Director of the CIA, Admiral Woolsey.

Subsequently, Clinton instructed Webster Hubbell, when naming him to the
position of Associate Attorney General at the Justice Department, that he
wanted
him to investigate and report back to him on two things, circumstances
surrounding the death of President John F. Kennedy, and the existence of UFOs.
Hubbell, despite his position and the presidential imprimatur, was boxed in at
Justice Department and never was able to find out. All of this was disclosed
in
Hubbell's memoir Friends in High Places.

Now the lid on UFOs is gradually coming off. There is a national drive
underway
to get one million signatures on a petition calling for an open Congressional
hearing for government employee witnesses. Dr. Steven Greer, Director of the
Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI), devotes most of
his time seeking disclosure of government evidence proving the existence of
craft manned by non-humans. Another who feels that positive proof exists
within
government, is Lt. Col. Philip J. Corso (retired), who reveals in a recent
book,
The Day After Roswell, that he was in charge of the Roswell files during his
tenure as head of the Army's Foreign Technology Division. He states
unequivocally that these files confirm the crash which occurred at Roswell,
New
Mexico was an alien space craft. This completely refutes the Air Force denials
and subsequent explanations. Corso says that the crashed vehicle was studied
and
proved to be manufactured of materials unknown as to source and usage in this
country. In time, he says, this and other UFOs provided technologies which
were
"worked into the commercial world via front companies." Incidentally he
vouches
for the fact that this has proven to be a valuable contribution to U.S.
aircraft
design and other commercial products.

After the Roswell incident, the Air Force replied to reporters' inquiries that
this was all part of research using weather balloons and other equipment.
Corso
and hundreds of others who work or have worked in secret defense and
scientific
agencies, are willing to swear under oath that alien craft are repeatedly
penetrating our airspace. Whenever the military agencies are asked to look
into
this matter further, the answer is always the same - "We do not investigate
UFOs."
