... zero-G naked sex maniacs.
Pictures, or it didn't happen.

Put on your best tinfoil hat and...go!
Isn't it actually a lot more likely that no government has a clue what genuinely unidentified flying objects are, but they also don't want you or I to know that to appear to be 'in control'?

Because they don't 'own' the cosmos anymore. Other countries/agencies will show what NASA doesn't want so the jig is up.
NASA did pull their live STS feed blaming it on 'budget' savings but when they used to show it live, there were a LOT of unexplained activity going on up there!

How do we know that it is even a seven second delay? Is there anyway to prove it?
Now you are CHEATING.
No fair asking for actual evidence of looney claims.
Dreaming things up as 'must-be-trues' is much easier.
But seriously -- the way the video signals are transmitted and converted, there are delays that add up to several seconds, even before the video reaches Mission Control. Then it gets routed via satellite to the site that does public distribution. If you then watch the 'NASA TV' cable broadcast and run a streaming video on your PC, you'll see several seconds more delay.
And there IS a video squelch button on the PAO console -- I took a picture of it on a recent visit, let me look it up. Nobody who works there ever remember it being used, the expectation is for some hideous disaster of torn bodies or zero-G naked sex maniacs. Folks in Mission Control think the public fascination with 'UFO videos' is sadly idiotic.

I would imagine that if you personally knew space aliens who visit your house on weekends for dinner and a movie they would still deny that aliens exist because it is their duty to never admit that civilians could be correct. It is much like the CIA banter that goes, "We can neither confirm nor deny that." It's all a part of the plan to cut off an exchange of words with the civilians, furthering the gap between government employees and taxpayers. It's a backwards idea but someone's got to show us how it's done. It's state sanctioned animosity. These days it is approaching the old ways of the old world more and more with each passing year. Your American freedom is crumbling before your very eyes.

This is nonsensical fantasy. The men and women I worked with in Mission Control were not the kinds of obedient lackeys to lie to, or deceive by silence, the people who pay their salaries to perform such awesome activities. They are dismayed to keep getting queries from friends and relatives about 'UFO secrets' they know to be bogus. Most have given up trying to explain things, and think I'm wasting my time NOT surrendering to popular culture.

So...neither you , nor any other NASA employee was required to sign an "non-disclosure agreement", no security clearances required?
Sorry man, I don't believe you...

And everyone seemed to get into the act of moving the various cameras wherever they wanted with no purpose but curiosity.
The UFOs were caught on camera at times the live feed was being ignored! You can tell this by listening to the live audio. So many times UFO events are taking place, NASA ignores them. There is no comment. Sometimes these rogue operators actually follow UFOs. They are in the dark & so they just watch!

That future is now. Both the Chinese space station, and two private space hotel module prototypes owned by Robert Bigelow [a big fan of UFO studies] have operated for years in space with exterior TV cameras rolling. So where are all these views that supposedly NASA won't show?
