US Air Force Project Blue Book, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency , and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have determined since 1947 (and reinforced over the years) that the actual recognition of life beyond this planet would cause panic and mass hysteria in the general populous, destablization of the economy, and general collapse of public order related to drastic world view changes. Alot was based on the effects of a false radio broadcast by Orson Welles in the 30's. General Curtis Lemay (Commander of Strategic Air Command and Chief of Staff of the US Airforce) issued orders for cover-up in the name of national security. Newer technologies had national security implications, especially at a time when the nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union was beginning to heat up. Anyway, that's the short answer. As time goes on, however, it seem that this view point loses weight as our technology increases and the general world views of people are, how would you say....less fragile....





Those at the top of the heap in wealth and power in every country want to maintain the status quo. UFO's pose an immediate threat to the social and economic fabric of life, whether in a totalitarian state or one that's allegedly democratic. The secrecy stems from a pervasive and fundamental element of life in our world: that those who are at the top of the heap will always take whatever steps necessary to maintain the status quo.





There is a nice anecdote in which President Ronald Reagan, after watching a preview of ET The Extraterrestrial with a group including the movie's director, Steven Speilberg, turned to the director and said: ';You know, there aren鈥檛 six people in this room who know how true this really is.'; This might be apocryphal, the story continues that Spielberg could not question the president further after these statements because the press then approached.Why does the US military still cover up UFO incidents like the case in Stephenville, Texas?
All those aliens wanted was some milk.
Because there is not one piece of credible evidence to prove that there are alien UFO's. That's right, not one.
Because you are looking for the wrong term. The terms you should be looking for are AFO and LGM.


AFO= Alien flying object


LGM= little green men





If you ask them about UFOs, they know right there you haven't been doing your homework.
Because the UFO guys have better weapons than us and they're scared!!!!
I know right!
The question never said anything about aliens whoever that was above me.





Anyway. It's a security measure. And they have every right to do so. More than likely, if it wasn't a fake sighting (highly likely) it was the government testing a new weapon system.





You ever been in a fight? Imagine telling the guy every single move you were going to make before you started. Stupid.





No fighting? Okay, a board game, video game, whatever...





Whatever they're ';covering up'; is not necessarily because they don't want us to know about it, but because they don't want our enemies to know about it. Or at least the details of its capabilities.





The stealth bomber was UFO for how many years?





So just sit back and relax. In another 10 years or so we'll all know what it was those guys saw. (If it wasn't a fake - I saw the footage it looked horrible - if it was an alien they were driving drunk)
They have been covering up UFO's for their own advantage. Since the 1897 Aurora Crash, some fifty years later, gov officials dug up the grave of the being, b/f any evidence could be optained, but who cares, since CNN is covering this, I guess it would never get any respect.
I know seriously.... right....





Oh look a unicorn.





Get a grip on reality.
Probably because if anything, they are experimental aircraft being developed by our government. That's been the case in the past. It's not in our interest for that kind of info. to get out.





The Stealth bomber was at one time under wraps at Roswell...
