The Universe, as has been observed before, is an unsettling big place. The fact which, for the sake of a quiet life, most people tend to ignore. Many would happily move to somewhere rather smaller of their own devising, and this is what most beings, in fact, do. For instance, in one corner of the Eastern Galactic Arm lies the great forest planet Oglaroon. The entire ‘intelligent’ population of which lives permanently in one fairly small and crowded nut tree. In which tree they’re born, live, fall in love, carve tiny, speculative articles in the bark on the meaning of life, the futility of death, and the importance of birth control, fight a few - very minor - wars, and eventually die strapped to the underside of some of the less accessible outer branches. In fact, the only Oglaroonians who ever leave their tree at all are those who are hurled out for the heinous crime of wondering whether any of the other trees might be capable of supporting life at all, or indeed be anything other than illusions brought on by eating too many Oglanuts. Exotic though this behaviour may seem, there is no life-form in the galaxy not in some way guilty of the same thing. Which is why the Total Perspective Vortex is as horrific as it undoubtedly is. For when you are put in the Vortex, you are given just one, momentary glimpse of the size of the entire unimaginable infinity of creation along with a tiny little marker saying, “You are here”.

Here's the other thing: Any disclosure would be rejected by the UFO CT community as "disinfo", as has been the case in the past. So official "disclosure" is pointless if intended to appease those demanding it.

As for whats their purpose here, we could only guess, what they want. I personally figured that they are trying to study something, but what that would be, I haven't the faintest clue.

I agree that the government will not disclose anything they don't fully understand as it shatters the "illusion" of a all knowing powerful government.
If we believe witness testimony of inter dimensional beings, then the affects of disclosure would destroy our relative truths and the systems built up over the centuries.
I want disclosure as much as the next person, but if I was in power and had knowledge of beings from other plains of existence, you would never find out on my watch

I strongly believe we will have to wait a few generations until the entire planet become secularised to shed humans of any preconceptions of what's right. With religion still being the number 1 inhibiter of open mindedness disclosure would do more damage than good. We will soon realise everything we hold dear (money, cars, getting drunk) will have little relevance and cause what I call as a paradigm implosion

The Mirage Men, the illusionary aliens who always get away, where equipment stops working or they take your camera, so that for thousands of cases not a single one or few happen. You come closer to the oasis, it always runs away from you, you see it all the time in front of you and every time you don't reach it..
