UFO Files are Now Released, But What Good Are They?

for American Thinker

by Robert Arvay

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.
