Tom Rogan, who writes about national security for The Washington Examiner, believes it is because the government is afraid UFOs have negative intentions. This is because they’ve had significant interaction with U.S. Navy planes operating off of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and near Air Force nuclear weapons bases and nuclear submarines. The government doesn’t want to cause panic.

This is classic brain dead reporting on this topic--ignoring decades (if not centuries!) of history.

What about these UFOs in the 1950s?:

How about these UFOs from the 1960s?

It is pathetic and disgusting when "journalists" try to pass this stuff off as "new".

To the extent .gov has policies on this stuff it is decades and decades old, and probably dates back to this:

Recent sightings on Navy ships are totally irrelevant....a complete red herring....

Excerpt from an article on Charles Fort and his letter to the NYT September 5, 1926, re: UFO phenomena.

Last I heard here were no drones in 1926 (and all those other things UFO’s attributed to).

FTA:
In a letter published in the September 5, 1926, issue of The New York Times, Fort offered some prescient observations. Extraterrestrial beings would not have to hide their activities, he wrote, because if “it is not the conventional or respectable thing upon this earth to believe in visitors from other worlds, most of us could watch them a week and declare that they were something else, and likely enough make things disagreeable for anybody who thought otherwise.”
