This is an old post so sorry for backtracking a couple pages. The discussion was about governments keeping alien contact from the public:

I would guess that less than a few thousand people (if that) on the entire planet are truly in the know of what is going on in general. These are the absolute highest echelons of "government" and military leaders who have security clearances or are members of groups that don't even exist. There are military operations going on DAILY that we the public will never know happened, ever, and those are child's play compared to bigger picture events. With something as delicate to national, international, and global security and control as for example alien contact.... that stuff doesn't leak. The repercussions are far too great, and people are only made privy to that information to begin with if they have proven that they can be trusted with it.
It's not that far fetched an idea if you really think about it. For example did you know that there has been a Black side of NASA conducting operations in space since the 60's?
