Oh, you mean like his ununpentium/unobtanium element 115-powered propulsion system? He just had to throw that in there or I might have at least wondered if his story was true.

Seriously, though. Do you really believe him? Too many years have passed. The reason the gov't will NEVER admit that there is UFO's and ALIENS is because it would create mass hysteria. People who don't have an open mind would freak out. Every kind of social uproar would take place. Besides, it's actually against some people's religions. So, one could say it's a form of control, no?

Do you truly believe that people would freak out and the world would collapse? I've seen the same sort of statements from numerous people. Unless I'm missing something, I see no reason the majority of people would freak out. It's my believe that the people who say this have been watching too many alien movies like Independence Day or Signs.
The vast majority of people wouldn't care if aliens showed up one day. In a world where information is rapidly delivered to people all across the world, the majority have become desensitized to minor shocks like that. What would it matter if aliens are real? People who refuse to believe in any sort of alien life are the minority these days. General entertainment has made the idea more accepted and commonplace than it used to be.
Religions wouldn't be broken down, either. If a religion couldn't respond to something like this and survive, then it would have died out a long time ago. They would simply alter a few scriptures here and there to make things fit, then boom: Aliens are God's children as well. Religions are experienced at coping with radical change so that they can survive.
You may see it as an event that causes global chaos, but I've yet to find evidence that would make me believe that.
