Yeah, I never bought into the"Gov't is hiding aliens" as in spaceships and little green men per se. I figure there's some highly secret advanced intelligence gathering that won't see the light of day for another 30 or 40 years that has caught stuff that can't be explained yet.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Then there's the time when trump showed pictures to confirm intel at a press conference and it basically confirmed that the US had spy satellites that had highly advanced resolution cameras. So if the US said "Hey, we detected this, but we don't know wtf it is.", every intelligence agency would immediately ask themselves: how did the US detect that, how do we protect ourselves from it, and can we also do that.
