This has probably been discussed before, so I hope I'm not covering old ground.

It dawned on me the other day that maybe if Area 51 and other bases are reverse-engineering alien technology, they may be doing more than trying to create weapons to fight future wars with other humans.

It occurred to me that they might be trying to design weapons to fight the aliens themselves.

Maybe the politicians are keeping all of this super secret to hide this fact not from other humans but to keep the extraterrestrials from knowing how far along we are (or not) from being able to fight off an alien invasion.

Maybe the militaries of several countries already have reason to believe the ET's are hostile and have mounted super-secret programs to build weapons to stop them, since our pathetic human-designed weapons are hopelessly inadequate.

If some of these so-called "lurkers" who are trying to get pictures of Area 51, etc., end up revealing to the aliens too much of what we know...they could design to mount an invasion immediately.

It's just a thought...but it's a scary thought.
