The simplest explanation?

I am no expert in the UFO field but I am quite sure something is out there, the govornments know and are denying it, so why would they do this?

The reason to me would seem the Aleins are neither hostile or friendly, in the same way we are neither hostile nor friendly to Lab Rats or Cattle.

Upon cantacting these Alien beings, the govornments found they were merely mocked/joked with, the Aleins did not take us seriously in any way what so ever, they just said we are here, we will do whatever the hell we please and you can't stop us.

We have a little respect for you though, we do not want our presance to make your species suffer any more than they have to, if your species found this out there would be mass panic, wars, civel unrest, etc. would brake out. If such did happen we would be forces to intervein, possibly taking control of your civilisation. Therefore te best thing you can do is keep quiet about it.

And well what could the govornments do about this? Other than agree with it.

I am guessing that is the sort of state we are in.

How do you think the human race would really react if it was found out we were being basicly being used like lab rats and could do nothing about it?

If that's true, and there's no proof that it is, then I would suggest that they'd keep secret about it because they don't know what they're dealing with. They don't understand it. And like most folks, when they don't understand something, they keep quiet about it so other people don't find out. Governments only keep one thing secret. Things they don't want their enemies to know. Like what they don't know.

So you have this stuff in an underground bunker in the desert. Bits and pieces of what would seem like it should be a spacecraft and aliens but when you analyze them they just don't make sense. The "ship" has no power source and no control mechanisms. The "aliens" are like organic plastic dolls with basically human DNA. You don't know what the hell they are. They are apparently more technologically advanced, but you can't figure out exactly how, so you can't gain any new insight from them for weapons or anything. They're just this big puzzle that makes no sense.

I wouldn't tell anybody I was clueless. I'd just let them assume that I was reverse-engineering all kinds of superweapons. Maybe even encourage them to think that.

Imagine a Cold War scenario:

1) ETs land or crash in New Mexico as according to legend.

2) US government says publicly, "hey the people from the flying saucers are here. But we dont' know who or why they're here or what they're doing but their technology is far beyond ours."

3) USSR government says, "We know all about them. We've had a great alliance for 20 years, and they agree with glorious socialist principles and Marxist dialectic. They're helping us and soon we will bury you capitalist imperialst scum!"


Now you see why the US (and in reverse scenario the USSR) would cover something like this up?

Because there is simply no useful advantage the government could gain, or useful thing that it could do, if it were to admit to such contact and befuddlement. But there'd be great political pressure on them to "Do Something", when the wise response is "do nothing".

If it exists (and I'm definitely not sure at all it's so) the Alien Coverup is 99% the alien's fault. They're the ones not talking and sneaking into somebody else's home.
