Maybe mistrust was too harsh. Skepticism perhaps? A general show me before I believe? You have to admit the general psychology is sound. If you are skeptical about a general subject, and I play to that by making it seem like I’m hiding something when I’m really not, Basically I’m hiding in plain sight. And when I couple that with giving you something that fires the imagination, I’m giving you what you want to believe. When you think about it, it’s a mind screw twofer.

I certainly have no knowledge about what "really" happened at Roswell; I suspect it was a cold war psyop, perhaps kind of like an early version of SDI...make the Soviets believe we had captured or secured some radically advanced technology, and let them spend themselves into oblivion, and expose their spy networks trying to get hold of, and replicate something that doesn't exist.
