Yah. There is no way the government can keep stuff secret. It's not like they had a stealth aircraft for many years that was manufactured in the middle of a populous area and then transported to a military base for testing and none of the public knew about it. It's not like we had a secret project to develop the ultimate bomb in a place that according to all the maps of the time didn't exist and most people knew nothing about it until the bomb was dropped on an enemy and ended the largest military conflict in history.
Of course the government can't keep secrets. Never has, never will.
I mean it isn't like there was an airforce base in the middle of a desert that the government disavowed all knowledge of until the mid 1990's and only then because several workers there were dying due to exposure to unknown toxic materials that the doctors said they couldn't treat unless they knew what they had been exposed to. The government then didn't just refuse to tell them so the workers took them to court to find out but the president signed Presidential Determination No. 95-45
LINK to end it.
PS: I don't believe in the UFO's either but I am willing to accept it MIGHT be true. I'm not going to try and psycho analyze extraterrestrials and their reasons. As for government secrets... don't be naive. The government keeps secrets left and right from the populace at large and always has. For the greater good of the nation or some such.
