for American
Thinker
by Robert

President Trump has released some
previously classified UFO files with the promise to continue releasing more of them, but only if
they do not compromise national security.
While I welcome any disclosure at
all, I think that most of us have had our fill of second-hand testimony and blurry
film clips. What is now needed is physical samples of nonhuman
artifacts that are clearly beyond the capabilities of any earthly technology.
The only testimony in which I am now interested is sworn, detailed, first-hand
accounts, eye witness, officially documented, demonstrable evidence of the
aforesaid. If someone has seen alien
biologics, have him publicly say so, under penalty of law, and present a
physical sample that can be studied independently. It is not good enough to
have someone say that he knows someone who told him about all that. Someone whom we trust needs to affirm that he
has first-hand knowledge. He should hold in his hands the material proof, show
us, and convincingly demonstrate that it is what he says it is.
Is this asking too much?
Unfortunately, it is already
being claimed that, if the US government does have in its possession such
artifacts, releasing knowledge of them would give our enemies information that
they can use against us. While that is
plausible, it is not a convincing enough reason to withhold physical proof, unless
there is a further, persuasive explanation for secrecy. We have had too many instances in which high-level
government officials have lied to us, sometimes for nefarious reasons.
If in fact we do not have any
such physical evidence, it is perhaps better that we do not say so. Let our enemies guess at whether we do or
not.
Releasing the files may, however,
prove one thing: that the government
never had any valid reason to classify what it is now releasing. The persons who classified them need to
explain why they did so.
The most critical question to
which we need a definitive answer is, does the government have in its
possession such physical artifacts? If
so, then how did the government obtain them?
Are they being studied with the aim of engineering them in some way for
use by our technologists?
Following from that, then, are
more questions. Is the United States
government able to state as a fact that it knows that extraterrestrial beings
have traveled across interstellar space to earth? Are they inter-dimensional? Are they spiritual beings? Are they possibly earthly beings with bases
under the oceans?
Or is the most likely answer that
there are no such beings, that the UFO/UAP are something other than a designed
technology, for example a natural phenomenon?
This is a tall order, and we
probably cannot expect final, undeniable proof one way or the other, of alien
visitations, or their absence.
What we can expect is what we
should have had all along, which is complete honesty.
