Alien visitation is a threat to national security. Our own air defenses cannot defend against air space invasions by these most likely extremely powerful vehicles. Admission of inability to defend against this would never happen as revealing that would remove confidence in the very people paid to protect us. However, we have been unable to defend against nuclear ICBM attack or terrorist attack for some time now. This is the main reason why any military power would not reveal this information. The trouble that the government would get into for keeping this a secret is the next reason. The third reason would be the economic shock. Whenever bad news hits the economy suffers. Admission of ET visitation and government cover up would likely cause world economic collapse.

Extra-terrestrials would want to deal with the government because of something that many people claim they've experienced from alien encounters.--Almost all encounters of alien intelligence is when the human being is abducted and used as a guinea pig for experiments--they want to study human beings, because they are interested scientifically. This alludes to the same mentality of the human mind, because we also like to study and dissect and experiment with other species--this is how we gain our superior knowledge--and this is how extraterrestrial intelligence gains theirs of us. The most easiest way of aliens doing abductions of humans is with the governments cooperation, because if there was no alliance with our powerful governments, there would be strange stories abounding of 'star wars' in the skies. The Dulce base conducts experiments with the human genome, as I have read, so certain secret humans are in on it, too. If you were intersted in studying something that would add to your knowledge, would you destroy it?--This could be the mentality of the extraterrestrial mind.

As for a shadow government--there probably are people working to keep certain things from the public, possibly even alien technology, but I doubt they have some deal with EBEs for a planned takeover.
Definitely true. They would have eliminated human suffering, at least regarding diseases long ago if they were here to help. IMO, they're here for the study of primitive life. Though it seems that they've tainted their study after allowing humans to retrieve their advanced technologies through saucer crashes. I doubt such crashes were intentional and much like humans, these creatures are fallible. The tainting of the experiment will likely lead to open contact at some point when humanity begins to actively employ the new tech.
