I have always been trained to look at things from as many points of view as possible, given the circumstances. Like other Ufologists, I have spent many a day considering and researching such as the Roswell Incident, and have wondered how far the U.S. Government is involved. In my opinion, UFO's are a reality, and some UFO's are intelligently controlled. So what does a government do when facing a seemingly more technically advanced race, a force its own people is not aware of?
Out of necessity, you would have to initially conceal something like the Roswell Incident. In 1947, an alien craft reportedly crashed outside of Roswell, NM. The U.S. Government recovered the remnants of an alien spaceship with its incredible technology, and reportedly at least one living extraterrestrial biological entity. The psychological impact on the American public not withstanding, it is an incredible intelligence coups. As such, numerous countries' intelligence apparatus would move into full swing in the direction of America, making it close to impossible to hide any technological advances gained. How long you would conceal it is an argument for another day.
Let us look into this from two directions. The first point of view is that relations with an alien race is friendly, or at least positive, and that race is wishing to expand relations with at least America, maybe the entire human race. The second point of view is that the relationship is troubled, confrontational, and even hostile. Both are probable and both should be considered.
Many envision a positive relationship with alien civilizations. Some even look to alien civilizations to solve Mankind's problems. Aliens would bring an end to wars, famine, disease, maybe even obesity (ever see an overweight Gray?). Sometimes, people prefer to avoid responsibility and imagine that someone else will fix their woes for them.
So we have a situation where friendly aliens have inadvertently crashed near an American city. At least one alien survived the impact and is more than willing to share information about their civilization and technology.
The problem is that the Earth is still a divided world. America just came out of a second world war, and is entering a cold war with the USSR. We would soon have disagreements (to say the least) with Cuba, North Korea, North Vietnam, China, Iraq, and Iran, to name a few. This is not an environment that lends itself to a sharing of technology gained by America.
If America maintains plausible deniability, it would be easier to throw other intelligence agencies off track, especially if rumors are circulated that confuse the scent, so to speak. We can only imagine what would happen if an enemy intelligence apparatus or one that is less than trustworthy (are any?) was able to supply it's government or it's employer with advanced technology, the likes of which could rapidly subjugate the United States. Needless to say, our quality of life would be extremely affected negatively!
