The thing about the government is, no matter what, we won't ever know.
Lets say hypothetically, there was aliens in Area 51, and they showed them to the general public. This would cause mass hysteria, and would disprove religious faiths, because we're supposed to be the perfect creations, and disprove god. The public would be at high alert all the time.
I personally believe that what they're doing now is the right thing to do. Let the theorists theorize, let the skeptics be skeptic, let people be in disbelief of the government, because in the end, they don't have to show us anything if they don't want to.
Great response.

I think it would be pretty cool if there were aliens and the gov't told us and showed us. I would be amazed.
