    I mean with all the shit that world governments are constantly pulling it really wouldn’t surprise me at this point.

    Like whistleblowers disappear all the time or are labeled crazy people.

    Imagine a govt employee suddenly ranting and raving about aliens or extra dimensional beings. Even if he had proof it wouldn’t be hard for the govt to make him look like a crackpot or make it seem like he had a mental breakdown.

    Edit: Y’all I’m not saying I actually believe this shit just that I wouldn’t be surprised.

      Uh huh. If aliens were able to reach our solar system, do you think they would give one shit about being seen by a primitive civilization with zero space defenses?

      If we’re talking about signs of alien life from deep space scans, do you really think that the scientists that found this evidence, who have spent their life pursuing the better understanding of the galaxy, would keep quiet about it at the behest of whatever government?

      Life isn’t that interesting. There’s no massive multi-government conspiracy. We couldn’t even get governments to shut down borders or enforce mandates on wearing mask when a global pandemic of unknown severity was ongoing.

      You’ve watched too much fictional media if you think any conspiracy of that level is remotely plausible.

        Proof of aliens wouldn’t be your typical info that requires clearance, it would be the highest level of compartmented info. Everyone involved would need the highest security clearance. Everyone. Whoever empties the garbage cans needs to be trusted.

        This wouldn’t be like nuclear secrets or spy secrets. All you need is one or two people who believe that disclosure of aliens would benefit humanity more than the secret will protect them. You need one Edward Snowden for aliens - someone reputable to blow the whistle with hard proof of some sort.

        The amount of people that would need to keep this secret forever is astronomical. Not just the people directly involved, but any second or third degree contacts who find out would also have to keep the secret.

        The ability to maintain a secret is an inverse-square function. The more people, the longer time passes, and the less involved they are day-to-day, the more likely the security will break down. There would absolutely be deathbed confessions. Over time, the probability of disclosure happening increases towards 100%.

        This is why most conspiracy theories don’t hold water. No secret can last forever and certainly not one that big.

          World governments wouldn’t be able to stop the LGM from just landing in the middle of Tokyo for all to see. They have no control in that situation.

          Discovering microbes on Mars might be one thing, but it’s also the kind of thing the general public wouldn’t give a shit about.

          This is what I keep saying too. To believe that so many people would keep a secret is just insane. Like the conspiracy about the NFL being rigged. It’s not even just the number of people involved and the passage of time. With all the egos on any given team, there’s no way all the players, the coaches, and everybody else would roll over and throw a game just because that was "the plan"for that year.

        Humorous thought just occurred to me. What if the governments of the world are really a false flag operation to keep us from believing that a capable government could exist. And that there is a real one that knows about aliens and so much more… There has to be a book about that somewhere.

          You’re describing “The Illuminati: The Secret Society That Hijacked the World” by Jim Marrs, unless that’s the joke.
