Many UFO researchers concede that a political cover up exists, but paradoxically contend that this does not negatively impact on their search for sufficient hard evidence to reach definitive conclusions about UFO/ETH hypotheses. This does not appear to be logical to me, and appears to be more a statement of faith than a rigorous scientific approach to the UFO phenomenon. More precisely, I am proposing that advocates of the hard evidence approach are really engaging in a faith based approach to UFO research.

If top secret committees set up a parallel infrastructure to deal with a national security 'threat' deemed too sensitive to be disclosed to the general public or congressional officials who exercise budgetary oversight; then the security system would be sure to eliminate, remove or taint hard evidence, and intimidate/discredit witnesses and whistleblowers. That this has happened can be identified in key documents such as JANAP 146 and the work of researchers such as Donald Keyhoe who was one of the first to rigorously explore the political cover up in his "Flying Saucer Conspiracy'. Numerous whistleblowers who have emerged in the Dr Greer's Disclosure Project assert that they indeed were instructed to lie about, and/or remove hard evidence.

In the early days of the alleged coverup, numerous balls were dropped. This is COMPLETELY logical, as "they" were dealing with a completely new issue, and had to develop a system as they went along.
you are claiming that the same militaries which had such A stellar record suddenly an inexplicably " dropped the ball "
appologies , but i do not accept that unsuported " logic"
So basically, Dr. Salla seems to be generalizing too much and leaving out whole chunks of information

Fine, then I'll support it.
Ask yourself. How long after WWII did Russia have the A-Bomb?
Stellar Job?
