For the fact that humans are curious and contradictory animals is one of the primary reasons one should believe that ufology is constructed from hysteria. Unfortunately, the subject also draws to itself people suffering from schizophrenia and paranoia. Like convincing evidence of Big Foot, Sasquatch, Loch Ness, Chupracabra, with all the people searching for them with sophisticated technology, we likely would have good information. Beyond its inability to continue to hide information for an extended period, the U.S. government has no valid reason to hide proof of UFOs. Nothing could have protected the information from release for over half a century from the widely varying changes in national leadership. And this does not give consideration to all the other world governments who would also be expected to have such information.

I am open to convincing evidence of UFOs. However, blaming the government for covering up knowledge of their existence, is placing a bit more faith than I can muster in the competence of government.

Having worked in a Top Secret Crypto Navy position, I disagree--with good reason.

And, you are inaccurate in terms of the research about the mental health of experiencers and even abductees. There's evidence of trauma, much as with rape victims etc.--which would be fitting given what they report.

However, actually, as a group--though there's somewhat of a normal distribution, experiencers are actually a bit above the average of the general population in terms of general levels of mental health--with significantly less of them being either not flakey at all or far less flakey than is found on average in the general population.

And, if I recall correctly, also of generally higher levels of IQ. I don't recall HOW significant the statistical differences were, but enough to be called statistically significant. But I need to try and find that research again before stacking a castle too high on it. It's been too long since I read it.

There's certainly no statistically greater degree of hysteria or of schizophrenia in the experiencer population.

The paranoia, or so called, is also not statistically greater depending on the criteria and whether one subtracts out things as intense as rape etc. which the experiencers evidently DO EXPERIENCE. Certainly there are not statistically significantly more paranoid character disorders in the experiencer's population proportionally more than in the general population. Some would say, there's significantly fewer in the experiencer population.

So, your assertions on those 3 points strike out entirely in terms of the solid research evidence measuring such issues.

As to the governmnet's ability to keep things secret--there have been a number of weapons systems and types of spy technologies that the government has kept successfully thoroughly secret for decades. I know that, for a very solid fact. Some have been revealed only in the last 5-10 years but I don't recall their names. Some are still secret.

I don't per se have much faith in the government's abilities in lots of areas. However, compartmentalized groups of overseers with ruthless intent, capacities, technologies and perhaps even demonic motivation and oversight--can do a lot to intimidate, scare and terminate humans sufficiently to effectively keep many things secret AS WELL AS advance their degree of control over populations, countries, intstitutions etc. across the Nation, continent and indeed, the whole planet.

You are welcome to consider my assertions folly, nonsense, illogical, unproven or whatever suits your fancy. Doesn't really bother me. Eventually, the truth of what I've said will be revealed.
