While I agree with most of what you have said in your posts, I disagree with the 'alien' angle you have brought out. Have a peek here...
Some of the important directives/tasks of the departments/organizations under the Intelligence Branch, of the secret shadow government of the US related to UFOs/Aliens are:
National Reconnaissance Office(NRO).
Cut to save space. See above post for the details.
If you have the time and inclination, you can catch up with the info here...

So let's not hurry to conclude that the UFO phenomenon is all non sense. We know next to nix about what the black projects are up to. It's said that they are at least 50 years ahead of mainstream science.
And Matt had mentioned earlier that 'information' cannot travel FTL, but how do we know for sure that it has not already been accomplished? If they are decades ahead of mainstream science, then anything is possible.
The fact is that we don't know what the heck those black projects are up to and where their R&D has reached.
Cheers!

Wow. I must say you really are caught up in this bs. I bet you deride devout Christians for turning to the Bible to support all of their claims, even though you do the same here. You are digging for [false] information to fit what you want to believe. Everything in your "external source" is completely false. Everything!
First of all, we don't have "Star Wars" satellites *yet* though we're getting close. There's nothing super advanced for our level of tech about that. In fact, even if we did have directed energy weapons deployed in space, I highly doubt it would be of ANY use against an alien with the technology level to fly all the way to Earth from wherever it came. Hell, we're even getting close to being able to stop energy weapons. Look up meta-materials (I'm sure you heard about the "invisibility cloak" that is invisible to certain wavelengths in the microwave portion of the spectrum). Its only problem is it is too limited. We need something that encompases the entire spectrum, or at least large portions of it.
I know from personal experience that the Navy isn't involved in any coverup of "USOs" because they don't exist. They can cover something like that up from the public, but they can't hide it from the people that are actually out there.
If these aliens exist, then other governments would know about them. Have you ever heard the phrase "need to know?" It comes from security classification rules. Even if you have "Top Secret" security clearance, that does NOT mean you can look at Top Secret material. You must not only possess the clearance level, but you must also have a justifiable "need to know" that particular material. The reasoning behind this is that the more people know a secret, the less likely it is to be kept secret. In fact it's correlated to exponential decay, which makes it extremely important to keep the # small. Therefore it is very unlikely that several governments can keep a secret like this, especially when many of these governments have been so unstable (i.e. Russia).
As Matt mentioned earlier, which you said yourself, information cannot travel faster than light. The way we know that it hasn't already been done is that it CANNOT HAPPEN, as Matt mentioned earlier.
I am a scientist myself, and ex-military. I love sci-fi and I love following our most advanced tech, because it amazes me (even though the individual "jumps" aren't that big). I would love to have a "Star Trek" life. I would love to meet a [peaceful] alien civilization.
However, I'm also realistic. My head is not up in the clouds. I don't make things up or believe every Tom, Dick, and Harry just because it fits what I want to believe.
If you want to know our present level with energy weapons, look up HELLADS
