12 flags and no reply? Let's see if can get this discussion going...
If they have the capability to remain largely undetected and unidentified then it would seem as if they could also control whatever we know about them (incl. the rate at which disclosure would take place).
But then again: would they be interested in disclosing anything at all? Assuming they are a far advanced technological civilization, they might have gone through that phase of contact before and realized that it didn't turn out well (similar to us colonizing or invading other countries).
Perhaps they came to the conclusion that there isn't so much to gain, but a lot to lose when interfering with other civilizations (especially inferior ones). So maybe the galactic zoo hypothesis would hold true after all...
Two of us here have raised serious questions about his allegations concerning the astronaut Gordon Cooper stories. Do you want to examine this specific example or have you closed your mind to any possibility your judgment of Streiber's reliability might need modification?
Interesting about Whitley's The Key. That only reinforces my conviction that it's a grand manipulation along with thousands of others. Did he post samples of the changes?

Have you made room for the human 'ARV' (Alien reproduction vehicles) used to abduct humans and perpetuate this anti-alien narrative?? So many people have no conscious recollection of 'alien' encounters , even if they were pleasant encounters, simply because the conscious mind framework, the filters of information do not have the room to incorporate those astral level of info.
Also Hollywood has been promoting this fear-based anti-alien narrative, so I doubt the government is 'operating under secrecy to maintain a status quo'. If anything these are clues to the propaganda machine of how to manipulate the bent of thinking in people who are largely unaware of the alien 'issue' towards fear and paranoia. That ensures complicit consent to weaponise space, should the situation come. Because people respond to fear based situations a lot more urgently than ones that might promote long-term benefit for all.
Werner Von Braun has already outlined the timetable for 'hoax alien invasion' , which seems to be nearing. Promoting fear and paranoia is in the best interest of any 'group', seeking control. Even the Betty and Barney Hill 'abduction' case was actually mysteriously pleasant . Some have theorised that the memory black out is simply to prevent 'trauma' of fear that most people experience when they experience something they cannot explain, or even to simply keep their lives as normal as possible. Many people under hypnosis will elbaorate on experiences they have no recollection of in their conscious waking state.
I think your comment, while reflects your own opinion of the matter, largely ignores all these facets of the issue. I havent had the chance to read your other comments so maybe I am reading this superficially, but have you looked into the issues listed above? The human version of 'abduction' scenarios planted to make people more and more afraid of the whole scene of Alien contact and disclosure.

Great points.

AGREED about The Key and the globalist plan. I just think it's a piece of the puzzle that fits their plans well.

This is way out on the fringe but I will lay it out there. I remember reading a hypothesis once on this phenomenon, that these entities were indeed transdimensional, the "ultraterrestrials" that John Keel wrote about. They make forays into our reality, but cannot exist in it for long. As some quantum physics experiments show, the act of observation literally affects the nature of reality. In other words, the more "real" these beings become to the general public, the more of a beachhead they establish in our reality. Keeping belief in them in the domain of the "tin foil hat crowd" may in fact be a way of keeping them from gaining more of a foothold in our world. Maybe this is the real reason for the coverup? I don't know but it was an interesting theory.
