We should see if the reports of ufos increase in both quantity and popularity relative to the severity of the global crisis. Modern society has regected it's old gods- who will they turn to in times of trouble? When governments war- the outcome isn't always evident- if the citizen- without a god- who must sacrifice so much in time of war- loses faith in his government's ability to protect and preserve him- what then motivates him to sacrifice? To rule a society- they must be blinded into submission if they cannot be bound. They will listen to the aliens wether they are real or not- like the shaman who only had to wear the skin of the animal to invoke it's authority- they will tell them to believe and they will believe- then when they tell them what to do they will do it.

There’s no chance that an alien civilization happen to evolve at near enough the same time as us (within a 100,000 year or so) and are close enough to get here, sure there’s life out there but I believe the time difference would be way off, we’re probably gonna be using radio signals for the next 100 years then move off, it would be similar for any other intelligent race, the communications being scanned for would be in 3 hundred years or so stints and the civilization would probably wipe itself out after 100,000 to 1 million years anyhow, if we never had the extinction of half the worlds species 65 million years ago (or whatever it was) we may have had a technological race some 40 million years ago, so it shows what time differences we are dealing with when we look at the evolution of other civilizations.
Aliens yes, more government tests being covered up yes, visitations no… IMHO

I don't see any easy answer (the one most people want), as the subject is itself highly complex. In certain cases it manifests as physical reality, and other times, it doesn't. Almost as if the enigma has an option to be either. Maybe our perception of it has something to do with that.
It doesn't matter how you cut it, no one is going to find any answers as long as they confine their search to UFOlogy.

2. Or it could be just the latest thing that is selling. Because we all know that there is some money to be made here.

Some are misidentification's as well, with no real malice or "goose chasing" intended. Unfortunately, the bogus claims you mention are bolstered by UFO celebs with no real intent other then seeing what kind of money they can collect. Nothing wrong with getting paid for your time, provided you do solid work and peer reviewed.
