“I can say from my own classified work that you seem to have no clue as to the highly sensitive and dramatic stuff which CAN be kept quite secret for decades.”

And I can say from my own classified work that you could never keep that information a secret. It only took one man, Aldrich Ames, to ensure the deaths of at least 7 Soviet Agents. Something like the existence of Aliens would be leaked within days.

Besides, if it’s so secret how come you know about it?

It is called "disclosure". The US government is purposefully leaking the information to the public. Slowly at first to gauge public reaction, and then more quickly in recent years.

The information was originally tightly controlled for a number of reasons:

1 - Avoid public panic as indicated by "War of the Worlds" broadcast.
2 - Air Force did not want to admit post WWII intrusions into our air space that could not be stopped.
3 - Hopes of recovering advanced technology without Soviet knowledge.
4 - Nature of incursions were not known, difficult to admit to the public.

There are a few more reasons stated in declassified documents, but I don't remember them offhand.

Perhaps some day someone will kindly introduce you to reality . . . it would help understanding the UFO stuff immensely.

Which part of the ridicule strategy do you not understand?
