Why the existence of UFOs will not be acknowledged

There are a number of reasons why the various Governments, militaries and other agencies around the world will not admit to the existence of what are popularly called UFOs.

If you ignore the obvious reason that will be given by the sceptics - that UFOs do not exist - you may find the following:

RELIGION

The first major point is a religious one. There are numerous religions around the world that firmly believe this planet was made by God for the benefit of man. Further to that, all the creatures were placed on the Earth for man to use. Also, man was made in the image of God.

There is no mention of other planets being made for other dominant species or of other species being made in the image of God.

Now, I fully accept that there will be some religious people who are not bothered by this; even that they might welcome aliens as another example of the power of their God. However, there are likely to be many millions who cannot or will not accept the aliens.

THE MILITARY

The various military bodies around the world have a lot to lose.

If we assume that the stories are true and alien ships have been recovered or that contact has been made with alien races and exchanges happen, the military of any country would currently have an incredible advantage over their adversaries if they were using Off-world technology.

This advantage could perhaps be seen in warfare, weapon design, surveillance or other areas and would be lost if the technology was revealed to one and all.

Also, the militaries would have to admit that either A: they could not stop the UFOs from entering and leaving their respective air space or B: that they had been permitting this to happen.
If we accept the former, it would likely cause a loss of confidence in the military's ability to adequately defend the countries, people and properties of earth.

Surely someone would ask "If the military cannot do the job they are paid to do, why pay them?"

PUBLIC PANIC

The reaction of the public at large would be a significant factor in the decision. Would people panic with the idea of alien invasions, general enslavement, death, destruction or worse?

If we look back to the first radio broadcast of "The War of The Worlds" and note the mass panic it caused - people trampled to death, mass evacuation etc - and then realise that the broadcast even included an announcement that it was fiction. .

Since those days, we have become more accustomed to the idea. Have we not seen a steady stream of UFO movies and books? Do we not sit down to watch dozens of Science Fiction series each year? Is it possible that there are departments who not only sanction but assist in the production of material which will get the public used to the idea of aliens being real?

So, would people still react in the same way? Would we even believe it?
Some people will always panic, the question is 'How many?'

OUR GOVERNMENTS

Perhaps the biggest reason that such an announcement could not happen is that the Governments would have to admit that they had been lying to us all, and probably for years. They would also have to make the announcement all over the world in one go to prevent any one Government from gaining political advantage from the announcement. Can you see all the Governments agreeing to anything all at the same time?

If it happened, there would most likely be legal cases arising from such an admission. How many people have been made to look like fools (or worse) because they talked of aliens? How many lives have been practically ruined? Just think of the Marcel family in the Roswell incident. Wasn't Jessie Marcel's life and career ruined after he was forced to change his original statement to say that the debris he found was not alien, and was in fact a weather balloon? What price could be put on that?

There would also be allegations that the Governments were involved in a sort of "cultural swap" where they permitted the aliens to take humans and animals for experimentation in exchange for alien specimens or technology.

In the face of all this, and unless a ship lands "On the Whitehouse lawn" (as per the saying ) how could they ever admit to alien existence?
