Question: Why are they keeping it a secret?

SF: That's a different question, of course.  I'll give you several
reasons why all governments are keeping it secret.  You see, it's not
just the United States government, it's a worldwide phenomenon. Some
people might think I'm saying there's a conspiracy. I'm not saying that
at all, although there may be. But I am saying that there are sometimes
common interests. People may be enemies and still think the same way
about things. Here are several good reasons for all governments to not
want to put the UFO data out on the table....

There are very well auhenticated cases like the UFOs over Phoenix. The
UFO seemed to have the shape of either a B2 or an F117 it was difficult
to tell from the pictures. The shape was guesses out using the
occlusion of stars. At that time niether aircraft "existed". Thousands
of people saw it and were subsequently fobbed off.

There are only 2 explanations for secrecy.

1) The UFO are real extraterrestrial spacecraft - Hardly likely for a
variety of reasons.
2) The military know perfectly well what they are and in fact own them.

There is simply no other plausable explanation. If they were simply the
product of overvivid imaginations the military would never be involved
at all.

I believe that UFOs are a threat to democracy. We go to our elected
representatives for an account of how our money is being spent. All
these projects are paid for using black slush fuinds that our elected
representatives never see.

They are for the most part a complete waste of money. The B2 cost $1e9
per bird. Auora a hypersonic airplane is also a complete waste of
money. OK UFOs are a waste of money but they are not actually
dangerous.

Much more dangerous is the research being done on disease pathogens.
The common cold has in fact evolved not to kill us. A snuffy nost and
"should I go to work of not?" is fitness, it enables the virus to
spread. A genetically engineered "cold" could be lethal. Of couse such
research is not being done.
