Do you think we will ever know or the documents of all top secret projects or anything will come out?
Also do you think ANY one person in the USA has been to another planet by a secret secret government project dealing with a reversed engineered UFO?

Einstein's E=MC2 equation was merely a theory.
He didn't just make his theory up and then fit it to the universe. He got it from observing aspects of the universe. Observable aspects. Others pondered that there was an Energy-Mass equivalence. the Csquared is used to convert the mass units into its equivalent energy. What made Einstein different was that he proposed that this energy-mass equivalence was a result of the symmetry of space and time. Once again observable. His equation was a result of relating the inertia of bodies(planets etc) to its energy content, hence total Energy equaling Mass by the speed of light squared.
he had no "physical proof" to show that his "ideas" were reality..
What they got from that was that matter contained vast amounts of energy. as Energy= Mass times the speed of light squared. They just had to figure out a way to release that vast amount of energy contained within that matter and in a manner which weaponised it. They where dealing with aspects of reality and the material was evident.
they had to literally use his theories as a basis while they researched and experimented. in order to create a powerful reality of the atomic bomb.
it seems the OP is being hypothetical.. as if these things are real.. would we ever know..
and even if he isn't ..
hypothesizing according to logic is the best rout to discover truth.
that's what this site is about.
Why infer an addiction to a manner of investigation, could not the reverse be offered that those that believe would rather defer to their reliance on fantasy?
seems you are addicted to skeptecism and only use it to try to convince other people not to theorize and research based off of theory..
Are you suggesting a sceptical approach to the existence of aliens is a socio-cultural, scientific and technological weakness that if present in the stone ages would have resulted in any advancement in those being stagnant or destroyed? Or scepticicsm in general? Your statement is just untrue and a weak attack on those that prefer more substantial information to form their truth and beliefs on. Scepticism, or caution, is intrinsic in humans. So is Fantasy.
which. if all of humanity took that advice.. we'd still be in th stone age.
If disclosure came and it was`nt what you expected (we`ve never been visited), but was the absolute truth, could you accept it? Or would you still claim that the gov is still lying to us? Say if the real truth came out, that there is no intelligent life and we are alone in the universe, could you accept it?

Ahh.. yes! good question , tho.. if the government truly believed there was nothing out there wouldn't it be easy to just say "Listen people , there is NOTHING out there and all this is hogwash , don't believe any of it. We have done research and there is absolutely no indication of UFO's and Aliens. We are tired of all this speculation that we are covering it all up because that's not true and there is nothing to know"
Correct me if i am wrong , but has the government ever said anything along those lines? They always simply deny claims and offer no opinions.
If there really was no real UFO's then they must be man made , and that may be a good reason for the government keeping quiet and offering no opinions.

We already do know. If we were being visited by aliens all this time we would know, but there's no indication of it so we are not. End of really.
