angry mob comes to their door step saying "if that wasn't you what was it?"
if gov't says "aliens" then they'll have to reveal what they actually know
if the gov't says "oh it's a secret project" they'll likely have to reveal what it is, or atleast let the world know by saying so that they have crazy secret technology
or, if the gov't says "oh they're flares guys" then they laugh at our gullibility, and keep their secret project secret.
my logic is flawed, but seriously, why would the gov't admit to it being a test flight for some super tech? the people in pheonix would be pissed that tech was being tested over their homes.
You seemed to have forgotten that there's a whole lot of desert in Arizona to test things like this. Not to mention Nevada. It still makes no sense to me to fly this stuff over civilian airspace unless you are actually doing to test public reaction of seeing a highly classified ship. Not so classified anymore, I guess?

Here is why I don' think what he is saying is true.
If one of these "secret" vehicles were to crash, or hit a passenger plane. that would be huge news. If the what happened in Phoenix crashed into a place where people lived, what then?
The risk is too high.

What then? Then the government admits that it was a "formerly" secret project being tested. Did I miss something? Or is it against the law here in the U.S. for our military to have R&D and to test new weapons and/or vehicles? You people need a lot of something called....."perspective".

"The government desires people to believe in space aliens so they don't have to reveal the technologies that both we and the Russians have."

It's not like your average Walmart employee would be able to make head or tail of crash debris of a "formerly" secret aircraft in pieces on the ground. What's the odds of someone who could? 0%. Why? Because anyone who COULD has been sworn to secrecy! Come on people! Work towards a higher standard here!
