How much do governments really know about the UFO phenomenon?

having read many of the posts here on ats, i realize many live outside the usa. that being said, i have never heard of any other country having something similar in phenomena as area 51 or roswell. does that mean that the us gov't is the only one that has info and physical evidence of alien tech?

You know, I have never really thought about that. I always guessed other government are either better at hiding evidence, or they have less evidence to hide. I have to assume various governments have each of their own areas to hide evidence. I would also bet a great deal of evidence is hidden within various religious hands.

Of course, there could be very little physical evidence to hide to begin with.

Most of the government such as the US government really hides the evidences from their recent UFO finding but I can feel that they were updated on the development.

Example of large underground complex under mountains.
We see jets and no rocketry as suggested but all that would have been cleared out
if CIA bought out Yugo space program.

Part of the info:

In March 1961 Yugoslavia secretly sold complete space programme to USA.
In May 1961, Kennedy announced USA choose to go to the Moon.

See easy for governments to hide and with US and UK together if New Mexico got
too crowded there is Australia.

Yugoslavia was on a roll back then and in the news making the Yugo car.
Money from US was flowing in for some reason.
So far a mildly convincing conspiracy theory but we see the hiding area.

I would think it's pretty safe to say that the info available to us as the general public is only about 10% of what TPTB know about the subject. I have no way to prove this with any hard piece of factual information. I do kind of have some insight into the subject via a family member.

A member of my family was pretty high up in the Air Force and later in his life went to work for Lockeed on their star wars project in the 80's. Being that I was always interested in space and the existence of life I often asked him questions about space. Even as a young kid I always had questions. I can remember he never really spoke about anything related to his job or ever disclosed any specific information to me. However one of or many conversations he did reveal a little information to me.

This all started one day with a question about aliens. I asked him point blank if his position allowed him access to such information. He told me that we was unable to answer the question directly but did tell me in my life time I would be exposed to information that would blow my mind. He went on to say there are many things he has seen and heard that lead him to personally believe anything and everything is possible. Even though he never said "There are aliens" he did lead on that there were things in our universe that we know about but are not close to fully understanding. He also lead on that life is not exclusive to our planet. This amazed me as a kid and my respect for him lead me not to press the subject any further. This was his way of telling me all that he could without directly telling me.

Based on the following, I would say the government knows a great deal about the alien factions watching Earth:

Former American President Dwight D Eisenhower had three secret meetings with aliens from another planet, a former US government consultant has claimed.

The 34th President of the United States met the extraterrestrials at a remote air base in New Mexico in 1954, according to lecturer and author Timothy Good.

Eisenhower and other FBI officials are said to have organized the showdown with the space creatures by sending out 'telepathic messages'. The two parties finally met up on three separate occasions at the Holloman Air Force base and there were 'many witnesses', it is claimed.

Conspiracy theorists have circulated increased rumors in recent months that the meeting between the Commander-in-Chief and people from another planet took place.

But the claims from Mr Good, a former U.S. Congress and Pentagon consultant, are the first to be made publicly by a prominent academic.

Speaking on Frank Skinner’s BBC2 show Opinionated, he said aliens at the first meeting were “Nordic” in appearance, but a deal was signed with a race called “Alien Greys”.

Mr Good said:

“Aliens have made both formal and informal contact with thousands of people throughout the world from all walks of life.”

Asked why the aliens don't go to somebody 'important' like Barack Obama, he said:

"Well, certainly I can tell you that in 1954, President Eisenhower had three encounters, set up meetings with aliens, which took place at certain Air Force bases including Holloman Air Force base in New Mexico."

He added that there were "many witnesses".

Eisenhower, who was president from 1953 to 1961, is known to have had a strong belief in life on other planets.

The former five-star general in the United States Army who commanded the Allied Forces in Europe during the Second World War, was also keen on pushing the U.S. space program.

His meeting with the cosmic life forms is said to have taken place while officials were told that he was on vacation in Palm Springs, California, in February 1954.

The initial meeting is supposed to have taken place with aliens who were 'Nordic' in appearance, but the agreement was eventually 'signed' with a race called 'Alien Greys'.

Mr Good added:

"We know that up to 90 per cent of all UFO reports can be explained in conventional terms. However, I would say millions of people worldwide have actually seen the real thing."

According to classified documents released by the Ministry of Defense in 2010, Winston Churchill may have ordered a UFO sighting to be kept secret. The UFO was seen over the East Coast of England by an RAF reconnaissance plane returning from a mission in France or Germany towards the end of the war.

Churchill is said to have discussed how to deal with UFO sightings with Eisenhower.
