I am a big fan of the romance of conspiracy theories. I also believe that people are absolutely capable of doing horrible things and then trying to cover them up.
However, I also am a big fan of occams razor. If you want to convince me that we are being (secretly) visited by aliens, who only show themselves to members of the US government who happen to be part of a huge conspiracy, that happens to be the only institution in the world with no leaks or accidental admissions, then give me a good reason why the simpler explanation is incorrect: That aliens are figments of someones overactive imagination.
Funny how people always "see" aliens/ufo's that somehow perfectly match the science fiction/cult idea of what an alien should look like. After war of the worlds the flying saucer was in. Now it is little men with big eyes. How charmingly anthropomorphic.
