Also there are many scientists working on classified projects that don't make it into the public realm. There are people that come forward with bits of information, which this is an example of. Let me know what you think after watching the video. You may change your mind.
I'm skeptical as to whether certain governments would be able to keep information contained despite it not presenting any major risks to its peoples if made publicly available. This is a gray area. The Snowden revelations about government surveillance might be a good example. On its face, he did a good thing showing us potentially orwellian tendencies of certain western governments. How sure are we that this was a good thing, however? Do we know how much harm it did? - Certainly not.
Going from that to cover-ups of evidence of extraterestrial life is a big leap, however. Given what we know about the world, it's really quite the unbelievable assumption that governments might be hiding the fact that we're no longer alone.
I'll let others address this better. I know how absurd your scenario is, but I'm not exactly very well equipped to properly address your latest remarks about how scientific communities might be working in the dark on such a grand scale.
I think someone needs to show that the "classified information" was indeed classified, and not manufactured from whole cloth. I say this because if they were actually putting classified information on the street they would be cringing like Snowden. But they know they're not in trouble.

Nutjobs and Tinfoil heroes come in many disguises.
Let me just say, it's rather peculiar that most UFO sightings happened in rural USA. Just like Bigfoot. I guess, he deserves some credit too.
As for aliens, does the concept of time and space mean anything to you? Say, looking at a star being a million lightyears removed? Hell, let's make that 10.000 lightyears. Looks better, doesn't it. Have you any concept what time it is on that star when we're looking at it? Our glorious species resided in caves, if they were lucky. That's what time it is. So, yes, given the known age of the universe it's very plausible that alliens already visited planet earth. They're so advanced that they simply skipped the formation years of their planet, the evolution of life and went straight for intergalactic travel.
Yes, yes, I'm a believer.

Ditto. OLD news. I was reading about this stuff in the 1980's. Doesn't make sense on many levels. Not enough real data to create interest.

Murder is illegal, and the threat of jail or in more serious circumstances death... Guess there are no murderers then, eh?

Hrm interesting question. I've been into UFOs for a long time. I think it is a arena that is currently overrun with quacks, but desperately needs some skeptical inquiry but honest inquiry because some of the reports are too credible to just chuck out. What interests me most is when pilots come out with these reports, especially those in the military and or with radio transcripts and radar data. Incidents like that are rare, but I know there are few, including one that is on Canadian government records on UFOs. However the disclosure project is still a little hard for me to swallow.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
