The CIA has been quelling UFO hysteria by having Hollywood relentlessly pumping out UFO hysteria.

Do we know that the CIA is behind most of the Hollywood movies on UFOs? Or is a matter of Hollywood simply going where the money is?

I have heard good arguments for both the above.

Actually, the government's suppression of the topic of UFOs (by debunking ALL sightings) would increase public curiosity and appetite for movies on the subject. This is similar to how a lack of government comment on the recovery of the current "objects" shot down results in the growth of conspiracy theories.

Clowns In America themselves ***use*** UFO narratives, stories, and public hype to camouflage off-budget programs that may get occasional unwanted publicity.

The 'TR3B Manta' comes to mind.
