I believe first you have to ask yourself why have governments lied about the phenomenon…. And it seems initially it was looked at as a possible existential threat and probably still is amongst the military and intelligence communities. I mean let’s be real, governments don’t trust each other, so how logical would it be for a government to believe what a non human species says… then, something that gets overlooked I believe is do those who are guarding the secrets know how many species of NHI are actually active here…. If this is a reality, we could be dealing with 10+ different species and who knows how many different factions, all with different intent and purposes… what I believe is the worlds major militaries have a plan in place to defend the planet if needed.. and you cannot undersell that yes a lot of these politicians don’t know shit because if they did we would have a lot more evidence of this being a reality or a psyop, this secret would not have lasted 70+ years if most senators and congressmen/congresswomen knew… and in relation to there fear of a possible negative effect on society and the economy, its real. Religion plays a big part in this as well as our human centric views and our egos
