Key quote: [said a source who testified to ICIG and Congressional committees] “There are people who say we have reverse-engineered them and are flying them. I never found any support for that. And found a lot of support for saying we can’t figure it out. If we do, it would be in some program at a higher security level.”<p>Now you see the reason for the disinfo campaign, as well as 90 years of fear and denial: the embarrassing secret - "We don't know". We can't figure it out. We can't control it. We can't reproduce or operate it.<p>The existence of aliens and superior-to-human technologies massively challenges government/corporate authority and power, and it terrifies them. People on the other hand, are pretty open and curious about such things, but humanity's <i>power structures</i>? Terrified. Hence, 90 years of fear and denial, and disinformation.<p>It's sad, but it's the banal truth. We're too dumb to understand it. Yet. They should just step up, release it, show they are leaders we can count on, no matter where humanity may be in the universal cosmic totem pole. No matter our ignorance or level of advancement we need to know we can trust our leaders. Not have them running and hiding at the first thing that exceeds us in a panic that we'll no longer listen to them and they'll "lose control". That sad, bullshit and pathetic attitude, ney, mistake has likely cost us all a lot, and a lot of people, sadly, everything.<p>Getting it out there, owning our ignorance and vulnerability, being upfront, being stand up about this, is the only way forward. Then, with everyone focused on it, instead of bullshit high-level inter-nations competition/collaboration in illegal deep-black programs that for all their bullshit secrecy have made zero progress and have nothing to show, for all their blood and treasure spilled to keep the lid on the "embarrassing secret", then and only then, when it's all out, might we have a chance to advance, make progress and figure it out. Because together, we can do anything. But fighting each other? We may as well let the aliens take over, because if that's how we act, and there really are evil ones out there, they've already won.<p>Release the fucking totality of it. Oppose anyone who gets in the way of that. Simple.
