Follow me on this for just a minute...
Up until 1945, human beings didn't have access to power capable of destroying planets. In 1945 humans got that access.
Ever since then, the powers that be (TPTB) have been trying to control these "Weapons of Mass Destruction". In 1962, the two most powerful nations on earth came to the brink of global thermonuclear war. Despite that, governments around the world are trying to develop their own nuclear weapons. Most claim it's just so they can develop nuclear energy, but it's a small step to go from ENERGY production to ENERGY destruction.
This is all about ENERGY, and how to control it. That's where UFO's come in.
If TPTB admit or disclose that the UFO's are real and piloted by ET's, then we begin down a dangerous road. The technologies of the power generating systems that propel these UFO's will want to be known. Efforts will begin to discover/steal/mimic those systems.
EVERYONE will want this supposedly free energy. That would be like everyone having a nuclear bomb in their pocket.
That is a road that humanity cannot afford to go down.
Hence, disclosure about UFO's will never happen, not in this lifetime at least.

A single 100 megaton air burst would be enough to cause a nuclear winter and pollute the Earth for many many years. Theoretically, a 100 megaton bomb detonated below ground could produce a massive earthquake and the constant explosions of a full blown nuclear war may also cause numerous earthquakes around the globe. But this would not destroy the world nor all human life. Globally there are not enough nuclear bombs to completely kill every human

You do not have to blow it to bits like the Death Star but we have more than enough to turn the Earth into nothing but a lifeless radioactive rock floating though space. The USA have enough to turn the planet as lifeless as the moon so add to the the nukes the other countries of the world have. What did live though the blast would did from the radiation. So we humans do in fact have more than enough nukes to wipe every living thing off the face of the planet. Not even bacteria would survive.
And not only the nukes them selfs but all the fires they will start. All that smoke and dust. And all the poison gases released.
edit on 9/25/2010 by fixer1967 because: To add some detail
One way to see this is to compare the energy of a nuclear blast to that of the rotational motion of the Earth. The largest nuclear bombs have an explosive energy of several tens of megatons, or about 10^17 Joules, whereas the Earth's rotational energy is around 10^29 Joules.
Yeah, that's a pretty big difference. Spirber notes that the energy of the largest nuclear blast is less than that released by the 2004 earthquake that caused the tsunami.
The amount of fault-moving ("Earth-slimming") energy in this magnitude 9.3 earthquake was estimated at more than 10&^22 Joules, or roughly 100,000 times that of the biggest nuclear bombs. So any effect of a nuclear blast on Earth's rotation would be far below what is measureable.
So, it seems unlikely that one nuke — or several — of today's technology could do harm to the planet (though the environmental effects are quite a different story).
The tsunami did, however, alter the Earth's rotation.
Scientists calculated that the colossal tsunami-causing 2004 Sumatra earthquake caused a slimming of the Earth that shortened the day by a few millionths of a second and shifted the North Pole by an inch.
