Hey man, I have a problem with the phrase "Wanting to believe" it seems to imply a lack or ignorance of critical reasoning... sorry if that sounds harsh

An example of this is UFOs, with an emphasis on UNIDENTIFIED - ie: there have been so many sightings of UFOs that I find it believable they exist, whether they are from off world or not, I'm open to.
Given that, I do think it possible there is a US space fleet - I don't desire to believe in it, that phrase gives me the chills (not in a good way), I'll parallel it with wanting to believe a woman loves you, this can be a bit whacky.

geminisky,you have no idea how close to reality you are,there are DEFINATELY HUMANS WORKING AND DIEING OFF PLANET----ALONGSIDE HUMAN RACES FROM OTHER PLANETS.
I could have been one of them,and they are SERIOUS MILITARY CATS these guys,humans in blue jumpsuit style uniforms.
We cant do very much and will never have the ability to do things hollywood would dream up,like create a spacefleet on our own ,big enough to compete in the universe,it takes generations AND CIVILISATIONS TO BUILD SINGLE SHIPS.Like I said,no hollywood,we are talking travel in the universe based on generation upon generation being born,living and dieng without ever seeing earth ot their origianl heritage planet.Just to amass the resources needed for one ship,earth alone might not do it.
But yes we have small craft,our governments have been given tech and have lied to us,they have shot down various types of technology--NOT ALL FROM THE SAME RACES--.
And no we couldnt fight our way off the planet, if we werent allowed to leave we couldnt,and YES WE DO HAVE SOME DEFENSIVE CAPABILITIES,but think like a musket shooting at a huey helicopter,JUST REMEMBER THAT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE A GOOD MUSKETMAN GETS LUCKY AND DROPS A BIG BIRD,TECHNOLOGY HANDICAP OR NOT.

It is my opinion that the bigger the secret, the easier it is to hide from the public.
The more outrageous it sounds the less people will ever believe it, even if someone was involved in it and tries to disclose it, they will be ridiculed regardless.

Really? I would assume that these pilots are exposed to very high level secrets, and would actually not be allowed out to play. More like drones/prisoners.
Kind of like scientists who work on alien tech and are kept under close watch 24/7.
I think instead these pilots may live in underground facilities that serve their every need and have all the modern amenities. and are NEVER let out into the public.
In fact if you consider that they have been cloned/created, then these guys may not even know anything about the world they live in. Who knows what kind of story they are taught since childhood, in order to justify the orders that they are given by the PTB?

Personally I don't buy into the reverse engineering story. It's not that I doubt any part of the idea, it's that I think we already had our own. Yes, having a device to use a reference would have helped us advance faster, but I think we already had a primitve version.
I'm a big fan of Tesla, he was one of many that were doing some pretty freaky work at the beginning of the last century...work that could very easily have discovered the basic principles needed (as stated elsewhere I think there was a second revolution comparable to the industrial, only it was covered up to protect power and profits)
I have also posted elsewhere that I truely believe the Voyagers will either go silent (destroyed) or returned to sender: I completely agree with the idea that humanity under current management will not be allowed to interact with the galaxy/universe as a whole.
Part of this belief is due to our track record, but most of it is because of what the very few do to the majority. Perhaps it is too much sci-fi, but I believe that if there are other races visiting our planet then they have an accurate picture of what is going on here (more accurate then you or I).
...like the US refusing to deal with Cuba under Castro, these visitors will not deal with humanity under the current power model.
