You've hit the crux of the matter, Donuel. Physical evidence of a UFO is damned hard to come by unless an alien vehicle crashes in one's own backyard...or you find their staging bases. In the former case, supposing such a crash happened, the civil and military authorities would have your backyard cordoned off pretty damned fast and they would take away all the evidence toot sweet, and tell you some kind of story to shut you up. And the local papers would talk about it for a day or two and then never speak of it again.

In the case of the bases...they are undoubtedly beyond the present reach of our military, and our military is driving horses and buggies and trying to catch Ford Mustangs, comparatively speaking...which is why they don't tell us much about it. They figure they wouldn't look so mighty and omnipotent anymore, and it would invalidate much of our normal political agenda on this planet, which is all about making money and controlling strategic resources.

So any evidence they have (and they have plenty) is kept secret from the public. There's also this quaint notion held by people in high places that the public would "panic" if told. Ha. Some people would panic, but most people would not, they'd be fascinated. The general public is ready for contact, the corrupt leaders of our society are not. They fear the loss of their image and their power. How many elected politicians know about this, I'm not at all sure...maybe only a few, maybe quite a few. But most politicians are just errand boys for the real power brokers who stand behind them unseen.
