I'm going with secret advanced Terran civilization that doesn't want history to repeat itself, having already suffered through the last planetary nuclear war.
Has humanity's perfection of nuclear energy piqued someone or something's curiosity in us?
On the contrary, UFOs appear to be quite friendly, except when rather ill-advised Russian aircrews attempt to engage them.
And seeing as those technologies are almost certainly built around space-time manipulation
Just don't count on the military to share more of what it knows anytime soon. Their understanding of the phenomena and professional instincts weigh heavily toward more secrecy.
And considering their ability to cloak, there's only one obvious answer as to why they let themselves be seen.

I like this idea. Like our ancestors had more tech than we ever knew. Then went underground, under ocean and interstellar or at least deeper into our solar system. Who knows but it's a fun idea for the imagination. I think some of it ties into the electrical properties of the earth, sun and solar system that are rarly talked about.

And in such hypothetical situations, why would they want their interest to remain secret, or at least, nebulous?

Can anybody suggest any reasons why military intelligence agencies would be interested in domestic and foreign UFO reports, for decades, even if UFOs weren't 'real' in the accepted sense? Even if -- hypothetically -- all the reports were misperceptions or fantasies?
