Over the years some have interacted with us for various reasons but for the most part up until 1947 they were letting us be.

has anyone ever proposed the Idea that the entire ufo conspiracy is simply a government psyops experiment aimed at learning and experimenting with new ways to manipulate the public with half truths, disinformation, false accounts etc. etc. I know that many think the entire thing is a front for covering up new technology but what I am trying to say is the whole thing a sort of study conducted by intelligence organizations deep within the government.
just curious and figured you folks would know. Maybe its crazy. It just popped in my head today when i was putting a puzzle together.
Steven Greer believes that the US secret crew does many operations of FAKE alien abductions.
This idea is around in the UFO movement, and has been for years.

Actually they do combined abductions with the greys. the humans are there to monitor them and keep track of the person abducteds health. The greys also use their skills to screen out the humans in the room with memory manipulation tech.(the cia actually has something that does this now)
Some UFO's are human in creation though such as the BT/doritos.
But regardless... psychology and archaeology explain everything that ancient aliens believes claim. For aliens to exist... it requires so much assumption.
A planet exists somewhere with perfect conditions for life... life evolves over billions of years to some sentient form... they develop to the point of space travel... they somehow find the direction of earth (otherwise they are just searching blindly?)... they travel and live long enough to survive the light years journey to earth, knowing full well when they return their families will be dead (if they care about that)... they spy on earthlings and torture a few of them, and abduct, rape, and kill cows... they never reveal themselves and to stay hidden they float in plain sight for thousands of people around the world to see and capture shoddy video of? It would have to be the world's WORST kept secret! Hundreds of millions of people believe in them.
Not to say that aliens absolutely dont exist, but consider the opposite...
We know people exist, we know we manipulate people, we know miltary technology is ~40 yrs ahead of public, we know the government covers up political conspiracies, we know silent helicopters exist and they have been seen leaving cow fields, we know that wealthy conspiracy family the Rockefellers travelled the country trying to convince scientists that aliens exist, we know that aliens have supplanted religion as a means of belief (control), we know what benefits there are from making people believe in aliens, we know that the US tested '___' and brainwashing techniques on its own citizens (including on CIA agents!), we know that alien books and movies are a huge business, we know that people see a light in the sky and jump to conclusions, we know that minds associate new data with whatever they already believe in, and this is easily capitalised on... When you understand psychology, you can control people, and control/order is the point of a government in the first place.

The entire UFO phenomenon? No way.
Part of it? You bet!
Which part?? Well, that's the million dollar question!

To be accurate, the OP said 'the entire ufo conspiracy is simply a government psyops experiment.' No reasonable person would argue against *some* aspects being based in psyops.
Coincidentally, you mention 'EBE' and the term itself arose from the murky underbelly of ufology. There was a time in the mid to late 70s when 'military insiders' began seeding stories of captured aliens. Shortly afterwards Linda Moulton Howe and Bill Moore were approached by AFOSI guy Rick Doty who led them down the garden path. The term EBE was created by Rick Doty and associates and finally showed up in the 1980s in an early version of the MJ-12 docs. To this day, controversy remains about whether Doty was acting alone or as part of a mission.

What benefit does hiding aliens get you, that hiding all the other conspiracy theories does not??
