about ETs , I am intrested in the technology.
honestly? First, the government would continue to hold back whatever info we think they're holding back. Second, the media would make everyone
gathered there look like fools, to the ordinary clueless/non-interested person. Thirdly, everyone gathered would slowly dwindle away as they realized
that they need to go back to work, pay bills, support families, etc..
Worst case scenario, they all get imprisoned and labeled as a mini-revolt / terrorism act, or some such thing.
Best case scenario - it actually works and the government comes clean. Although no one would even know if they were coming clean or spewing out lies.
One could hope, however, that such a large group action, especially if numbering in the tens (or even hundreds) of thousands would raise the awareness
level of the average citizen that something must be going on.. then progress could be made.
Still, one could argue that we'll (average joes) never know until the invasion comes/the aliens interact through media/the asteroid hits/etc. etc.
Maintaining a coverup of the extent which seems to exist would imply that there will not be a time in the near future when they will say, "Oh, by the
way..."
