"Since 1951, the CIA has caused or sponsored saucer sightings for its own purposes. By shrewd psychological manipulation, a series of 'normal' events has been served up so as to appear as quite convincing evidence of extra¬terrestrial UFOs... (Including) military use of ECM on a classified basis unknown to the radar observers who were involved."

The leading theory, at the current time....being the ET or Visitation Hypothesis
Is that the leading theory amongst ufo experts on the Internet?
Obviously it's not the leading theory in any main stream science that I know of.
If your talking about that 5% of ufo sightings that cannot be explained, I would say from what I have read, and seen from some high profile people, many of whom are either PHd's, like this one. or Physisists like this guy who believe like I do and many others do, think we are being visited, and watched.

Don Donderi said that these cases were "evidence of psychological processes" that did not "have anything to do with a physical alien abduction,"

The thread below goes into more detail about the true number of Bluebook's 'unexplained' reports and studies carried out for the U.S. Government by organisations like the Battelle Institute.
Official UFO Unexplained Report Percentages.
When it came to the findings of Bluebook Special Report 14 they concluded 'the better the quality of the sighting report, the more likely it was unexplainable'; that 'UNKNOWNS were observed for longer than KNOWNS' and that less than 2% of reports fell in the hoax category..
Apparently about 30 or 40 per cent of Bluebook cases may have been 'miscategorized' by the USAF as 'identified' and the true number of credible cases grossly underestimated -also, there were serious claims that the Bluebook team from the 1960's went back and sutbstituted official summary cards for unexplained cases 'to reduce the number of unknowns at any cost' so when it comes to the actual stats they all may be a bit fudged.

As far as Government agents intimidating witnesses and confiscating evidence, this article also provides great insight into this issue. The article discusses the 1986 UFO case reported by the crew of a Japan Airlines 747. They were flying over Alaska when they spotted two unidentified objects keeping up with their plane. The pilot then witnessed a huge, bright, circular craft that he described as being four times larger than the 747 he was flying.
“When the controller checked with military people, they said they did have a target [on radar] — not just one target, but a double primary target,” said John Callahan, former head of the Federal Aviation Administration’s Accidents, Evaluations and Investigations Division in the 1980s. “When the pilot first reported the UFO, he said it was a huge ball of light and about four times bigger than the 747 he was flying,” Callahan told The Huffington Post. The more than 30-minute close encounter ended when the UFO vanished. But the most telling part of this case is the aftermath when Callahan was contacted by the CIA. “I get a call from this guy in the CIA who tells me he wants to talk to me about the UFO. I said, ‘What UFO?’ He said, ‘The one that was in Alaska.’” The next day, Callahan found himself at a meeting with individuals from Pres. Ronald Reagan’s scientific staff, the CIA and FBI, where he was told to hand all the materials about the case over to them. “After I showed them the materials three times, one of the scientists stood up asking questions about the radar. Finally, another man stepped forward and said, ‘OK,’ and he pointed to the screen and said, ‘This event never happened. We were never here. We’re confiscating all this data and you’re all sworn to secrecy.’

I think the above case offers some strong circumstantial evidence proving the Government is covering up evidence that prove these are unknown alien craft, by intimidating witnesses and confiscating all pertinent evidence.

Contradictory Witness Statements
At this point, Callahan’s credentials and story has never actually been independently confirmed. In fact, back in 2007, as we were attempting to verify his claims, we contacted CIA Science Analyst Ron Pandolfi. Ron admitted that both he and Maccabee had in fact attended an FAA meeting like the one Callahan described. However, he did not recall anyone making any statement that the meeting never happened, or that the data should be covered up.
Pandolfi stated, “I don’t recall trying to ‘keep the sighting hushed’ since it was already widely publicized.”
In fact Pandolfi turned over all the data to Maccabee to conduct a full investigation and report (which Maccabee published in 1987).
Pandolfi did say that he recalled John Callahan being present at the meeting, and that all discussion regarding “delaying dissemination of information” was between Bruce and Callahan. This implies, of course, that Callahan could have mistaken Maccabee for a “CIA guy,” when he was actually only there as a private contractor.
We contacted Maccabee and he also confirmed that he was at such a meeting and received all of the data for his analysis and report, but he also did not recall anyone at the meeting trying to cover it up.
We reported this contradiction to Leslie Kean of the Coalition for Freedom of Information – the only listed contact for Callahan – and she initially did not believe us. Therefore, I put her in direct contact with Pandolfi and Maccabee, who both told her exactly what they told us. Kean refused to let us speak directly with Callahan to resolve the discrepancy, and eventually refused to cooperate regarding getting any clarification from Callahan.
