It doesn't seem plausible that a situation could come to be where our planet was visited by what UFO nuts insist must be at least 1000 beings from other places without the general human population knowing it? Is it the gap between them and us? The Utah crickets (compare them to us) that stole Mormon pioneers's crops didn't know in advance that the gulls (like the ETs) exist or that they're coming, until it's too late for the crickets, whom the gulls gobble up. Our ability to sense and detect things is improving, yet limited.
Answer 1: The advanced visitors prefer to sneak around, not telling us, a situation comparable, as Stanton Friedman said, "I don't think of talking to the chipmunks in my backyard." Vast gulf between him and them. Like us and the ETs, the chipmunks know he is there, but don't know what he is. We've seen a thousand glimpses of them, from Phoenix to Iran to Hudson Valley to Socorro to Roswell to 1980 in England to Travis Walton in White Mountains to Nimitz off San Diego in 2004 to the Cheyenne Mt joy-riding incident, but . . .
Answer 2: If I as an Earth-imprisoned one had this answer, would I be Earth-imprisoned?
Answer 3: Grant Cameron points that, besides the governments not disclosing, the ETs are not disclosing themselves, except to one or a few at a time.
Answer 4: Government has lots of anti-incentive to tell us about ET. A) The gov will have to admit out loud what it has long known, that it is not in control. B) Next admission could be that we don't know all that much about the Others. C) Or that we do know, but of course we've been lying for a long time. D) Some of the news is likely to be awful.
Answer 5: Maybe there aren't visitors. Maybe the simplest answer is the right one.
Yes, maybe. However I believe Phillip Corso, Jesse Marcel, and Grant Cameron, three pre-eminently respectable, sound persons, and they all say the answer is more complicated than most of the public believes.
Cameron created a list of some 60 possible reasons why governments may know of alien crashes and not reveal them to the public. Here is a mix of his thinking and mine.
1-If 1947 Roswell was an alien crash, it came less than 2 years after the end of World War II. There had to be a leftover wartime mentality, and a civilization vastly superior to ours could have seemed a worse threat than the Nazis. "We don't know what we have here. We don't know what they want. We don't know who they are. Let's keep it tight until we come up with some half-decent answers for these things."
Then either they never came up with very good answers, or, even if they did, it stalled its way into a semi-permanent stance based on a mix of caution and fear.
2- The truth may be sobering bad news. Several species who would be happy to either rid Earth of humans or at least to treat us like cattle are here among us and have been for thousands of years.
2b- Sobering bad news 2. Some group too powerful for other non-Earth bunches to stop is already beginning to carry out a plan that will completely hurt the quality of life on Earth for all of us. "They may know the alien agenda is bad and that they are helpless to stop it." Managing Magic, Grant Cameron, page 31.
3- Gov operates in the short term, and alien relations are a long-term issue.
4- Any administration that reveals ET is here and not in our control is very likely to be voted out as soon as the public can do that. Four years in the US at most.
5- Front page news for months would drastically hamper political energy for policy work/changes that those in power hoped would help the country or the party.
6- There is an "in-group" of 40 or 340 officials who know and who work together to maintain control, and the majority of them have never been convinced telling the world could be handled well and turn out well.
7- Threats to belief systems, whether of physicists, engineers, Protestant preachers, or of we who believe the system is basically good and fairly effective in taking care of us.
8- Weapons race. If one side discloses, it may inadvertently make public the "20% unknown" that the other side needs to gain ET weapon control and world control
9- Changing from an oil economy to a "zero-point energy economy" would be disruptive to society. What if only 2% of the largest 10,000 worldwide investors (200) became convinced that selling holdings was the only chance of financial survival?
10- Need to know doesn't exist for the general public. It doesn't even exist for most of Congress. Ray S in 1964 said those who know are rationally managing things and know what they need to know, but the public could not do that and doesn't need to know.
11- As to over 7,000 human abductions, some well informed ones agree nothing can be done to stop the abduction. The apparent abductors are not asking permission. Barney and Betty are a very light case of this. Revelation of this could undermine the consensus on civil rights, since there's no apparent way to prevent what can reasonably be called involuntary torture.
12- Available hints about alien culture point to a) hive-like social structure b) no use of money c) Communist-like government d) no material possessions e) some indication of "we are all part of the One Whole," which is not a thrilling idea to either capitalism or Christianity.
13- Complete shift in value of Earthly things: Cameron p. 38 says a close associate of Wilbur Smith, an early researcher, told Grant: If you find out they are going to announce the truth next week, be sure to sell everything you have this week because after the announcement everything will be worth nothing.
We see a list like this and tend to think, "The general public will only learn the ET truth via some surprise event, some blow-up of vested interests, some unforeseen and possible unforeseeable change, either sudden or slowly developing to maturity. A vessel crash in plain sight with immediate news media photography and coverage, too wide to suppress? Some small nuclear war that shifts the status quo so drastically someone tells the world? A financial or political crisis like 2008 but that really blows off the roof?
