You have missed, as UFO buffs do the most obvious reason why the
military want to keep UFOs secret.

THE UFOS ARE PRODUCED BY THEM

According to Janes 38% of military research "does not exist". Little
green men were invoked by the CIA when the F117 or B2 which did not
then exist were seen over Phoenix.

The idea of UFOs being alien spececraft does not stand up to any kind
of logical scrutiny. It is inconcievablethat anyone would make an
interstellar journey without AI. This is discussed in the two threads
here. The first is on how we might develop AI

The second is on our probable development of Von Neumann machines and
the problems of interstellar flight. It cannot be done without AI.

What ET would do is the following.A CDROM would be handed out
(possibly by an android) at a hacking conference and the Web would
monitor what the human race did. Possibly the Web might even generate
responses of its own. I can see you are human, an alien would have
responded differently.

Incidentally there can never be a 4th July like that shown in the film.
President Houston will simply let them in. In the film "The Bodyguard"
Whitney Houston played the part of a singer who was being protected by
an ex secret service agent. The secret service agent said that she
looked and sang better than the President. Now you get elected by being
ttelegenic and having pots of money to spend on the media. AI would
ensure that its person became president and did what it said.

Incidentally a study of AI indicates that extraterrestrial craft are
impossible as an explanation of UFOs as ET is going to act totally
differently. Military involvement is a certain, hence Why the secrecy?
ET involvement is simply not possible.

Part of the anger I have about alien abduction, UFOs and black flight
stems from the fact that black projects by and large are completely
irrelevant to our real needs. 38% of R&D expenditure goes on them
according to Janes. Black money has no democratic oversight, if the
public had some say it would either say "Lets cut expenditure and try
to balance the books" or "research should go towards low intensity
warfare".
