I find endless contrived questions, displaying a prejudice to the thought that the existance of ET's as a forgone conclusion, is tedious. What a waste of time and effort. Belief in ET's is a religious thing, nothing more. ET's have replaced God for the follower and believer of such tripe. To ask if a "coverup of existance" is "good or bad" without any proof of ET's very existance is at the height of religious faith not a foregone conclusion of reality.
Just because someone cannot produce the proof that will satisfy you does not mean something is not a reality. I cannot prove whether I brushed my teeth this morning but I know whether I did.

I think your question is a double-edged simply because we don't know enough about ET's visiting this planet to make an intelligent decision. We don't even know the answers to the biggest questions like
1. How many different ET races are visiting this planet
2. What are their agendas (IE why are ET's here)
3. Which ET's are friendly toward humans
4. Which ET's want to cause us harm
One question that I would love an answer to is:
If you think the US Military is reverse engineering Alien craft....who is doing the work ???? to reverse engineer an advanced craft possibly thousands of years in advance of our science and engineering skills it would take teams of scientists, engineers etc. The task would probably be the size of the Manhattan project in WW2 and nobody has leaked it ???? Stalin knew all about the Manhattan project within months of it being set up.

I did provide a reason why in the question.
Why would you want to hide the existence of Black people?

Well assuming there is a cover up and there's nothing but hearsay that says there is. I think it would be a bad thing because people need to know and should the "aliens" turn nasty it would be best that we already know that they're here.
That's assuming of course that there is aliens coming to earth and there is no proof that they are.edit on 18-12-2011 by steveknows because: (no reason given)

I truly don't believe there is a coverup. I think that people see things they can't explain, and assign the 'flying saucer' hypothesis all too frequently. I believe the governments/military of this planet have come to the same conclusion.

I don't believe there is anything to cover up or anything being covered up. E.T.'s are not what's being covered up. Many think because there was an unexplained Flying Saucer incident that there must be some E.T. cover up. Aliens are fake. All of the E.T. crap is Hollywood. The Saucers are the cover up, why? I don't know.

I do not believe there is a cover up either per say. Certainly not pertaining to the "flying saucer/alien hypothesis". I do however believe in military secrecy surround new technologies and the testing of and to think otherwise is perhaps a little naive. In a world where corporations rather than nations stand together it is not surprising that secrets are kept.
If E.T's existed and that is certainly a possibility, I sincerely doubt that the people in the know could stop them should they want to make themselves known to the world. There are way too many what ifs that go hand in hand with a glaring lack of evidence that makes me think that it is possible there is no cover up. There is just no evidence to support the reason for a cover up in the first place.

They WANT you to think there's a "coverup" when there's really not.
The public, along with so-called alien conspiracy theorists, are being setup for a false flag alien event.
Don't fall for it when it happens!
Imagine what peoples reaction would be to find out about a coverup and the Existance of not just one but several known and many unknown races od Aliens. Split Infinity
