Ours. Without being completely disarmed, and even taking into account the enormous resources that we have on the earth and our obvious ability to learn quickly, we can only feel anxious in the face of “their” presence. Bringing this out into the open by calling for the manpower and funds to conduct the necessary research is hard to visualize officially for the only superpower in the world. 7.2.2.3.2 This is all the more true since, under the additional hypothesis that the U.S. armed forces actually already possess formal proof of this threat, for example, in the form of extraterrestrial ships that have crashed on the ground, intensive research on foreign technologies should have already commenced a long time ago under the cover of the highest level of secrecy. As will be seen in 7.3.3, it would then be completely out of the question to divulge this type of information. Indeed, revealing a situation as novel as it is upsetting too quickly would perhaps be running the risk of social upheavals, accompanied by panic, a demobilization of energies, a multiplication of millenialist sects, and a massive move of people to take refuge in religious fundamentalisms. The loss of trust in the leaders in power could even lead rapidly to their ousting. Given such a problem, their normal reactions would obviously be to gain as much time as possible by continuing their denials, all the while continuing work in secret and fervently hoping that their successors will take on the responsibility when the reality becomes manifest. 7.3 U.S. Leaders and the Politics of Secrecy 7.3.1 The U.S. Army and UFOs The U.S. Army has been directly confronted with the phenomenon since World War II. It seems to have been the only army to have officially broached the problem with considerable resources. 7.3.2 The Spill-Over Effect of the Study of UFOs The U.S. Army has, in actual fact, designed aircraft that exhibit the characteristics described by the most reliable witnesses. The spill-overs are potentially considerable in the areas of propulsion, materials and structures, stealth technology, and weapons. 7.3.3 Finally, Why the Secrecy? We are currently not aware of the extent of the knowledge that U.S. military personnel have gleaned from all of the studies that they have conducted on this subject either based on sightings or, as has sometimes been written, based on materials that have allegedly been recovered. Whatever the case, it is clear that the Pentagon has had, and probably still has, the greatest interest in concealing, as best as it can, all of this research, which may, Over time, lead the United States to hold a position of great supremacy over terrestrial adversaries, while giving it a considerable response Capacity against a possible threat coming from space.
