why does the government want to hide all the UFO sightings?

Cos ..these UFO sightings are nothin but top secret military operations aimed at designing hi-tech weapons and technology.\n\nAnything goes wrong, they blame "those damned aliens". \n\nArea-51/Roswell incidents are alleged to be military operations  gone wrong.\n\nSo, for the sake of protecting secrets, the poor aliens are brought into context and blamed , if things go wrong. ; )

Dear USA Hater,\nGet your information straight before asking a question. There have been many UFO sightings in Britain, the former Soviet Union and South America that I'm aware of. I'm sure the countries you've mentioned have had sightings well.

...people are short sighted..most cannot believe what they cannot explain..for those that say that UFOs are not real...very sad...they have closed their minds to endless possibilities..truly if UFOs are here..and stay on earth..they would no doubt have the best chance of never being discovered if they were in the oceans whether it be on the ocean floor or below the crusts as some have even speculated..I would bet money on the ocean..we dont really know a whole lot about the oceans..

If extraterrestrial life exists (i surely think so) it is probable that it isn't disclosed to avoid mass hysteria (remember the chaos caused by the original release of the War of the worlds radio show???). Or simply to avoid foregin powers to get a grip on the cutting edge technology.\n\nKeep watching the sky dude!

There are many reasons the government tries to cover things up. It could be a mistake they made, and so yes, they dont want to look foolish. It could be that they have a certain agenda or policy they wish to enact, and too many facts made public would make it more difficult for them to enact that policy.\n\nThere is no simple answer to your question, because there are so many reasons that the government feels like it's neccessary to keep things secret from the very people they are supposed to serve.\n\nOne solution of course, is to elect a different set of public officials who actually remember who it is they work for.

I know one thing, if you look at it on Google earth, its bloody huge so theres probably all kinds of stuff going on there that we dont know about. A friend told me its where the government take people that they've snatched and do lots of wierd alien derived surgery on them - but he's a basket case so i wouldn't pay attention to that - he also believes that father christmas is real, this wouldn't trouble me too much but he's 37.

"...From my own intelligence work within the military, I can say WITH ALL CERTAINTY that one of the main reasons the public has been kept in total darkness about the reality of UFOs and 'aliens', is that the truth of the matter actually exists TOO CLOSE TO HOME TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT.  How could a spokesman for the Pentagon dare admit that five or ten thousand feet underground EXISTS AN ENTIRE WORLD THAT IS 'FOREIGN' TO A BELIEF STRUCTURE WE HAVE HAD FOR CENTURIES? How could, for example, our fastest bomber be any challenge to those aerial invaders when we can only guess about the routes they take to the surface; eluding radar as they fly so low, headed back to their underground lair?"\n\n"...the 'Greys' or the 'EBEs' have established a fortress, spreading out to other parts of the U.S. via means of a vast underground tunnel system THAT HAS VIRTUALLY EXISTED BEFORE RECORDED HISTORY..."\n\n--Milton (William) Cooper, ex-Naval Intelligence officer

They're not hiding those things from all of us, just those of you they want to keep in your menial jobs in order to maintain the economy. If you knew all the amazing stuff that was going on you'd be more dissatisfied and might revolt. Too bad for you.

No..but if you are lucky enough to actually witness their technology..: UFO/disc/sphere/..etc..it certainly closes any doubt involving the questioning of the existence of extraterrestrials. I have been witness several occasions..day and night to objects in the sky..I certainly wasn't looking for them..I just happen to look up at the right times..but perhaps in the near future if we are lucky ..we can get more governments throughout the world to come clean..and fill us in..on what many believe and some even know...that we are not alone..here or the universe

The US government will tell the truth about contact with extraterrestrials when it actually happens.\nNow go put your tinfoil hat back on.

No.  Alien visits are generally explained more reasonably by more down-to-earth scientific reasons.  Sightings of "UFO's" are most often military aircraft, ball lightning, or occasionally meteorites falling through the atmosphere.\n\n"Alien abduction" survivors tell fanciful stories, but those experiences are more likely to be from vivid dreams (no doubt influenced by other stories and pictures of 'alien life'), sleep disorders, or (rarely) delusions or outright frauds searching for attention.\n\nRemember - extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and proof.  That's just not there yet.

There not any more Why do you think you see all the shows on the history channel explaining everything to you they are going to reveal them to you soon there getting you use to the idea by showing ufo's on tv. They co exist with us and are not to be feared. \nBut aliens picking fruit scare you.

Our governement has definately recovered at least three flying saucers. UFO means Unidentified Flying Object, so just about any air-base that runs night operations is a UFO base. A bug can be a UFO, a cloud can be a UFO, if it flies and you cant identify it, its a UFO. Area 51 did house some really interesting 'out of this world' stuff at one time, but it is not known to me if it still does or even if it housed the 'stuff' for long. Area 51 is the focal-point of alot of flying saucer mythology because of an event or two that transpired there many decades ago. Our government knows about this weird stuff, to some degree or another, but will NEVER come clean on it, so dont ever involve them in anything if you find something very interesting. They would just 'clean up the mess' and you would probably get 'rubbed' in the process. The truth, as far as ive been able to piece together, is that the flying saucers and those who pilot them are coming not from outer space, but from within the Earth. Im not talking some Hollow Planet, Inner Sun gibberish here, but it is pretty kooky, none the less. There is at least one civilization of beings who reside in gigantic caverns and networks deep beneath the crust of our planet, possibly near or at where continental shelves pull apart or meet but dont touch together everywhere, or something. I think they, the real 'they', are the decendants of human-sized, intelligent, bipedal dinosaurs who got trapped in caves and found places that harbor life deep in the earth. They eventually developed scientific stuff including genetic manipulation and created the hairy dwarves, 'bigfoot', and 'grey aliens' that are sometimes reported seen. They may have had something to do with our own development. That would help explain why their mind tricks are so effective on us. A random process that developed on a completely alien planet would probably not be as strong as their mind tricks are when used on us.

no such thing as UFO\n\nif there is, scientists would easily find out, and publisize it, because of the radio waves.\n\nplus, we have way to much satelites watching earth, that a UFO would not be able to get past the vision of millions of scientists.

Rofl! That was going to be my answer.\n\nI think more than anything else, this is more a question of personal belief. It's like one of those "Is there a God" type questions, since even if somebody does know they answer they are not going to divulge it.\n\nTaking my own advice about the whole "personal belief" thing, I can honestly say that I think the government is more corupt than we could ever fathom, and they have gone from a government of the people to a government out to get people.\n\nI do also believe that sinister extra-terrestrials may play a large role in the corruption of our government... but that's me. The aliens are very much real, you know. And they are already here, and in about four or five years we will be hearing all about them.\n\nIlluminati? For all anybody knows they are real and they do have an influence among government officials.
