Well, I've always been quite interested in the current evidence science presents to us, stigweard. No problem there.

I'm also interested in what further possibilities lie beyond the evidence we have managed to find so far, that's all.

I've seen enough quite believable info by now about AFO sightings (including mass sightings over some cities) to consider it pretty much a certainty that some of them are real and are alien. I don't find the science community being too helpful in bringing empirical evidence to light about it, though...mainly, I think, because such evidence is being held in secret at a high government level, and the science community is remaining mum (on orders). Until it is openly released to the general public you won't have the science community commenting on any of that stuff publicly.

That is the problem. It isn't that the evidence isn't there, it's that it's not being officially presented to the public by the people who are holding it.

And from their point of view they obviously have what they think are very good reasons for maintaining that level of security.

Now when the occasional person in the professional realm talks, as Edgar Mitchell has done, and he's someone with strong credibility, the powers that be figure..."Well, he's still only one guy. How many people will hear what he says and remember it? And how many will believe it? And how will he be able to prove it? He won't be able to. Therefore, why should we worry? The coverup will remain effective as long as we don't release the empirical evidence we have. We are therefore still in control."

That's how it works. Dead simple. Just don't release the empirical evidence. Hold it in a government lab somewhere and deny, deny, deny. That's all it takes to maintain a coverup, because, stigweard, there are millions of people like you who won't believe it until they see the empirical evidence.
