Why Would The Government Lie About UFO's

The biggest reason for that would be that it would be too much for us to handle, freak us all out, cause worldwide panic, and alter everyone's cultural and religious beliefs. But another reason could be that they are using alien technology to create more advanced planes and weapons. After World War II the government learned that having a huge technological superiority can easily win you a war. And with the cold war starting up, they would've wanted that superiority again had it eventually broken out into another war. As mentioned earlier, the government is keeping the ship from the Roswell crash in Area 51, where many people have seen lights perform moves that no plane made with current technology could do. And they deny that this place even exists, when it's obvious that something is going on in there, UFO related or not. So just remember, that the government didn't tell us about the Stealth Bomber until 20 years after it was developed. Just imagine what we could be seeing in another 20 years, or where it will come from.

"The UFO problem, far from being the 'nonsense problem' it has been labeled by many scientists, constitutes an area of extraordinary scientific interest."
-James E. McDonald, physicist

Project Bluebook:

In 1948, following America's UFO hysteria after the Roswell incident, the government started an organization that would investigate UFO sightings, referred to as Project Bluebook. By 1952, the project was being widely criticized by UFO skeptics and believers alike, claiming that it's job, which was originally to seriously investigate claims of extra-terrestrial life has now turned into some kind of public relations office, set up to defuse America's belief in the paranormal. Though many skeptics argued that aliens were not any kind of threat to us, because if they were going to do anything to us they definitely would have done it by now, a lot of other people believed that we must be prepared for the unexplained. Hundreds of years ago many of the things that we now consider threats would have been unheard of. But maybe the real reason this project failed was because it was set up to not find anything from the beginning. In 1966, the U.S. Airforce asked the University of Colorado, led by Edward Condon of the Condon Commission to conduct an 18 month investigation into the truth about UFOs. Condon, a skeptic, did not take this project very seriously, which was supposedly to help the Air Force "get rid of the UFO problem". But in order to admit this, they must first admit that there is a UFO problem to begin with. In 1969 Project Bluebook was not surprisingly shut down, after investigating more than 15,000 reports of UFOs, many of them still classified as unexplained. Why was this project shut down? Does the government not think that the unknown is a threat simply because it has never been scientifically proven, not take the unknown world very seriously, or know all about it, but not think that we should?
