00:00
Why haven't we discovered aliens yet?
00:03
For some, the answer is simple.
00:05
We have already discovered them, it's just that that discovery has never been publicly
00:09
revealed to most of us.
00:11
Conspiracies and whistleblowers claim that UAP are alien craft, that the government has
00:16
captured alien biologics, and that experiments have been underway since at least Roswell.
00:24
But if all or any of that were true, then why do you think it's being covered up?
00:32
For today's video, we're not directly looking at whether or not the government really is
00:36
covering up proof of extraterrestrial life.
00:39
Most people have an opinion on that, and feel free to air yours in the comments section.
00:43
But rather, we're considering some of the possible motivations a government could have
00:48
for an alien cover-up, if that is what they're doing.
00:51
What we know is that stories of alien sightings are increasing around the world.
00:55
And in America especially, particularly since the US government took the unprecedented step
01:01
of releasing an official UFO report detailing supposed alien sightings in June 2021.
01:08
Interest in aliens is peaking, then, in part because we now have a batch of well-known,
01:12
compelling accounts provided by apparently reliable sources, such as the US Air Force
01:17
and Navy.
01:18
Nevertheless, read through that same seemingly watershed UFO document, which covers sightings
01:24
from 2004 to 2021, and you come to the somewhat anti-climactic conclusion that there was,
01:30
in its view, no direct proof of aliens in any of the cases featured.
01:34
However, the report also fails to give clear alternative explanations for almost all of
01:39
those featured cases, too.
01:41
And ultimately, perhaps the biggest takeaway from it is the apparent effort by US authorities
01:45
to swap out the much-used term UFO and to replace it with UAP, or Unidentified Aerial
01:51
Phenomenon, instead.
01:52
A move considered by some as an attempt to distance these inexplicable sightings from
01:57
any suggested alien activity.
01:59
With reported sightings still going up, though, and from all kinds of sources, it seems the
02:03
terminology matters little.
02:05
Perhaps one of the most convincing cases ever filmed comes from the US fighter pilot David
02:09
Fravor, for example, who in 2004, along with other pilots, reported a strange object with
02:16
seemingly impossible propulsion over the Pacific Ocean.
02:18
Arguably a still more famous case, however, centres on the engineer Bob Lazar, who claims
02:23
to have been hired by Area 51 to investigate and reverse-engineer alien technology in the
02:29
1980s.
02:30
Lazar's stories have attracted their fair share of scepticism over the years, but still
02:35
managed to ignite the UFO conversation.
02:37
So, for these examples, and the many others that are similar, the question remains as
02:41
to why the government would be so determined to cover up alien life on Earth.
02:45
One reason why people think the government is lying in the first place is because they've
02:49
kinda done it before, and regarding alleged alien incidents specifically.
02:54
The Roswell crash in 1947 is a prime example here, as that UFO was initially reported as
02:59
a flying disc before being rebranded as an ordinary weather balloon instead.
03:04
But then, in the mid-1990s, the Air Force backtracked again to reveal that it was, in
03:09
fact, a nuclear test surveillance balloon for the then-top-secret program called Project
03:14
Mogul.
03:15
Given the political situation at the time, it's perhaps easy to see why the government
03:19
might want to have kept some of those details quiet.
03:22
But there may have been another reason, too… the possibility for mass hysteria.
03:27
Back in 1947, any mention of nuclear or surveillance might have triggered a major public reaction.
03:34
But equally, today, any mention of alien invasion could do the same, and a national or international,
03:39
panic could be calamitous.
03:42
One of the most famous examples of mass hysteria in history, a phenomenon closely linked to
03:47
conversion disorder, is the infamous Dancing Plague in 1518, where some 400 people in Strasbourg
03:54
uncontrollably danced, according to reports, leading many to ill health.
03:58
The reason for the Dancing Plague is still undetermined, but it's thought conversion
04:02
disorder in general can come about due to extreme stress and can manifest itself in
04:06
unexpected ways.
04:08
If everyone on Earth was to learn that aliens are real, then, and enough people were scared,
04:13
anxious, stressed, superstitious, or any number of other emotions about that, then the possible
04:18
response could be impossible to predict.
04:20
At the very least, some argue that it would trigger chaos and lawlessness, and the last
04:25
thing a government wants is public disorder.
04:28
So that's one reason why proof of aliens might be kept under wraps.
04:32
Fear of hysteria isn't the only thing that could hypothetically be influencing the authorities,
04:36
though, and the real motives for a secretive government might have less to do with its
04:39
citizens and more to do with its enemies.
04:42
Throughout history, we've seen how governments try to balance the possibility of being attacked
04:46
by neighbouring powers.
04:48
And so, to maintain an equal playing field, it's in each country's best interest to
04:52
appear at the cutting edge of science and technology, to ensure they can't be overpowered
04:57
by others.
04:58
Were the United States, or any nation, to encounter advanced alien technology, then,
05:03
it might be deemed best if they were to learn how to use it before they revealed it to anyone
05:07
else.
05:08
If they hid proof of it until that point, the chance to gain an upper hand could feel
05:13
too great to pass up.
05:15
Consider how, during World War Two, the US, Germany, and others were rushing to develop
05:19
the atomic bomb, knowing that whoever had it first would essentially win the war.
05:24
For those who say governments have proof of aliens, it could be that a similar power struggle
05:28
is happening today.
05:30
When David Fravor caught his UFO on camera, for example, the apparent propulsion tech
05:34
far superior to anything he'd ever seen was the major talking point.
05:38
There are, of course, multiple possibilities here.
05:41
Either another nation has the superior tech, the UFO is theirs, and the US are lagging
05:45
behind…
05:46
Or the UFO is in some way America's, it's just that America doesn't want even its
05:50
own citizens knowing about it…
05:52
Or the UFO is alien, and the US wants to keep it under wraps to learn from it.
05:56
It would still likely be extremely difficult to keep such a massive secret from other nations,
06:01
however.
06:02
Looking back to World War Two again, for instance, the Soviet Union reportedly learned covertly
06:07
of the Manhattan Project, the plan to build an atomic bomb, before even America's own
06:11
FBI did.
06:12
But, finally, perhaps the real situation is something of a merger between keeping citizens
06:17
and potential rivals out of the loop.
06:19
Because whether aliens really do exist on Earth or not, it's clear they make for an
06:23
excellent distraction.
06:25
Area 51 has long been the hub for alleged alien activity, with all eyes on the Nevada
06:29
Desert whenever there's even a sniff of an ET story.
06:33
But there's some argument that this most famous location for an alleged cover-up could
06:37
also be part of a cover-up itself.
06:39
That the US and global powers use ongoing stories like Area 51 and infamous UFO sightings
06:45
to distract from other news stories, pieces of legislation, international developments,
06:50
etc. of the time.
06:52
Or even that locations like Area 51 are used to distract from the real truth about aliens
06:57
on Earth.
06:58
After all, if you were an undercover US agent, and you knew that aliens were among us, would
07:03
you choose to house them in the one place everyone else on Earth expects them to be?
07:08
Perhaps you wouldn't.
07:09
The general idea for this line of thinking is that there's an even bigger picture out
07:12
there somewhere, much more significant than even evidence of alien life, that governments
07:17
hope to hide from the public, too.
07:19
Just what that bigger picture is, however, is unknown.
07:22
If you have a theory, let's hear about it in the comments.
07:25
But to finish, we should mark the separation between UFOs and proposed alien life itself.
07:32
With the 2021 UFO report, the US government concedes that there are strange, often inexplicable
07:38
objects in the sky.
07:39
And there are so many individual accounts from the general public of the same thing.
07:43
Vastly fewer people claim to have met real aliens, however.
07:48
And the UFO report doesn't deal at all with alleged alien encounters.
07:52
Precious little from the government ever does.
07:54
Perhaps that's all part of the secrecy, or maybe it's a fair reflection of what
07:58
the authorities actually know.
08:00
For sure, it's an issue that will continue to stoke debate.
08:03
But those are some reasons why the government might want to hide proof of aliens.
08:08
What do you think?
08:09
Is there anything we missed?
