Governments DO allow independent studies of UFOs, there are hundreds of groups in the world. They are not economically supported and will not be, as long as they don't bring material evidence of what they are studying (because vehicles should be material, not a matter of emotions or thoughts). The same happens with independent inventors of the zero point energy device, telekinesis, etc. etc. and frequently they are the same persons, as the case of Dr. Greers which I mentioned before. This does not prove that UFOs do not exist as alien vehicles, as well as personal experiences do not prove their existence. May be, may be not. I am rather more interested in the phantasy and creative imagination behind those assertions, if they are not based on the search for profit.

Un abrazo,
