Disclosure coming soon!
For a few decades now.
Ever consider the possibility that there is nothing to disclose, regarding aliens?

that we are the only intelligent life and we are the only ones with advance tech is just unrealistic .
There are few who would disagree.
What does that have to do with what I asked?
since it is statistically impossible alone for that to be the case

Just because it is likely that they exist, it is not statistically impossible that there is no other technological civilization in the Galaxy (or Universe, for that matter).
actually it is.. to claim that somehow only our little mudball of (compared to other planets) young time here had the only combination of elements to produce life. that only our little mudball had the life develop into our current civilization, and even more ludicuris is that we are the example the best science/tech/knowlege that is.
that is unrealistic and to be honest quite narcissistic .
It is even less not statistically impossible that another technological civilization is visiting Earth. We can't get to them, why should they be able to get to us?
not only re read what i posted above, but because we cant others can? I might point out there is many things in human history where one country / people/ ect could do something that someone else could not. for example the native americans in north america didnt come to europe but europeans could due to they had superior ship technology. in a vast universe where we everyday re writing the book on science . hell not even twenty years ago (if even that short of time) the idea of "warp drive" or "bending space" for faster intergalatic travel was all just fantasy / sci fi.. now we actually have solid theoriies and attempts to do just that.. yet you think an alien civilization cannot be more advanced than us?
so if they were more advanced than us we would be the "native americans of north america" and they would be europeans.
either we are the only intelligent life in our galaxy or universe or we are not
Why would that matter? Just because we may not be the most highly advanced, it doesn't mean that a more highly advanced civilization is capable of interstellar travel.
then after that we must decide if its possible we are the most advanced of those societies/ life forms.
Wishful thinking might say so, but not logic.
just common sense says that is impossible.

so to think our own government doesnt have some evidence on aliens and/or being here (much less contact) is just even by statistics not realistic
