Very possible.
But the military can seek their capture and still be grossly negligent in other ways...all at the same time.
When the military starts a full release of all UFO files from the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s—no redactions, no excuses, no legalistic word games, no hiding behind private contractors—I will start paying attention.
Otherwise I am convinced they are just up to their old tricks of disinformation and manipulation.
