> that there’s really nothing.

There's a lot of "somethings" that could be the case without it having anything to do with actual aliens existing. The two broad categories would be that it's an intentional cover story for something meant to be secret, either legitimate research or some kind of corruption -- or it's sincere crackpot research in the government, of which there are plenty of examples, from paranormal research to ordinary pseudoscience.

I was at the national airforce museum in Ohio. They have a flying saucer on display there. Not because it's alien, but because they were trying to get flying saucer technology working. Every era of UFO theories had tech with similar silhouettes declassified a few decades later.

I truly believe that all UFO sightings have been terrestrial technology tests or atmospheric events. If a flying saucer had been found that was capable of interstellar travel we wouldn't have dinky two person ones sitting in a museum. They'd be the basis of mining tech that would empower the finding nation.

This is basically the only available truth (if you add in people hallucinating/misremembering/etc). The problem is you can never “prove” this to someone who wants to believe otherwise.

Let’s say the government legitimately did lay bare all of its UFO related classified documents and it explained some portion of events with known military secrets. There would still be a huge contingent claiming they were holding back something. And you could never prove them wrong. There is always a deeper secret to a conspiracy theorist.

Ask yourself: why and how does only an extremely limited number of people in the US government consistently have access to what feels like a steady stream of alien crafts going back to the 1930s? Why has no one else recovered these? Why doesn’t congress know? Why didn’t Trump know (picking on him because we all know he’s not great with keeping secrets)? Why would aliens go out of their way to stay hidden? Why would they travel hundreds of light years (or more) to earth, only to immediately, and consistently, crash at a speed that leaves largely recoverable parts? I recommend researching what the aftermath of plane intercepting the ground at a comparably paltry 500mph looks like for reference.

Compare this to the alternative explanations, all of which are completely plausible. Nothing about it being aliens makes any goddamn sense. The only thing that makes sense is it’s bipartisan, because no politician in their right mind would be against this, if only because that would make you look suspicious/untrustworthy.
