It could be perhaps that the alien has been found dead and maybe it had all kinds of disease that normal scientists aren't aware of!--Diseases that could destroy humanity! Or, aliens are being harnessed for their technology by certain governments who want to keep this secret so as to have an advantage over other powers of the world--as a form of national defence.

But think in the massive panic it would cause between the global population. Maybe they're waiting the right time to reveal to us (if they are really covering it up)
Didn't you or somebody else recently make a thread containing either this exact same question, or a differently worded version of it?

There is a very simple reason why governments have been so secretive. Modern UFO sightings really began with the Roswell incident in 1947, when a crashed craft containing the corpses of several aliens was found in Roswell, New Mexico. Make no mistake, Roswell happened. I've seen secret files which show the government knew about it - but decided not to tell the public.
There were very good security reasons for not informing the public about Roswell. Quite simply, we wouldn't have known how to deal with the technology of intelligent beings advanced enough to send a craft to Earth. The world would have panicked if we'd known aliens were visiting us.
They don't have a right. They know they are in deep # already from keeping it from us. I'm sure they are pissing themselves just thinking about what would happen upon disclosure.

All I am trying to say is, what right does the Government have hiding things (if there is anything to hide) from us?
