Did FBI just admit to roswell ?

Common sense tells me that if you can't trust the officials, then you can't trust the officials. Period. Either you do or you don't. In my strong opinion, disclosure is not the duty of the people that covered it up to begin with. Neither do I want disclosure to come from the very source that hide it from us.

Very astute point!

Except, even then, it might not be so black-and-white, because:

1. 'Officials' aren't unchangeable. They are people, subject to the same cosmic and cyclical influences the rest of us are. Some might even - gasp - have consciences! Many of the people who initially lied are no longer working for that governmental agency, or may even have passed from 3D. So, while the entity of government still exists, it is populated with different people, some of whom might be Wanderers undercover, who might find ways to 'leak' info to the public.

2. Let's say the officials who made the decision that the public wasn't ready to know about aliens 60 years ago, were indeed acting with benevolent intentions. They just wanted to prevent a panic. Now, 60 years later, after thousands upon thousands of sci fi movies, tv episodes, books etc., the public is more ready. The game has changed! So their objective now might not be the same as it was 60 years ago.

Disclosure? No. Convincing to we who want to listen? Yes.

Yes. Sometimes the most convincing thing is the littlest detail. Like the airline pilots who say they don't believe a highly decorated pilot would give up his cockpit. It's those little things that ring true and convince us.

Here's one of my favorite Star Trek scenes, about being convinced when there is no irrefutable evidence.
