    “The story aligns with a lot of similar stories that have played out, going back to the 1980s and 1970s, that together allege that the US government has kept an incredible secret, the literal most extraordinary secret that mankind could have, for not just weeks or months, but years and decades, with no meaningful leak or documentary evidence to ever come forward,” Graff previously told the Guardian.

    “I think when you look at the government’s ability to keep secret other really important secrets, there’s a lot of reason to doubt the capability of the government to do that.”

    That’s it for me. If aliens have visited Earth, and I’m not completely skeptical about that, but if they did I highly doubt the government would have the ability to hide it, let alone a decades long reverse engineering program.

      That’s basically my opinion too about this and 9/11 conspiracies. The gov demonstrates their incompetence every chance they get and you want me to believe they successfully implemented a decades long coverup involving presumably hundreds or thousands of people over the years, with no verifiable evidence leaking? And more importantly we don’t see any alien tech implemented in our military or elsewhere.

      I want to believe, as mulder would say, but…sorry…wake me when there’s evidence…
