Does America Really Want To Know?

The question begs to be asked why so many military aircraft could be in the area and the Air Force not have knowledge or get confused about it, or be able to find flight orders, mission briefings/debriefings, or flight releases. According to the Air Combat Command Public Affairs Office at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, an individual F-16A/B costs 14.6 million dollars in 1998, and an F-16C/D runs 18.8 million dollars in 19983. This does not even take into account the amount of money it costs to train a fighter pilot and keep them proficient, and fuel and maintain the aircraft. How does the Air Force forget about ten planes and pilots?

Of course, this question is rhetorical. Taken from a law enforcement interview aspect we know the military in general is hiding quite a bit and lying to the public. With such blatant circumstantial evidence, the threat of conviction looms for this person of interest, which at this point is known as a suspect. If this suspect had murdered someone, the pressure from the American public would be incredible. If justice were stalled, people would take to the streets. Why, then, is the same not happening in an instance such as this?

There are many examples such as this where quantitative circumstantial evidence abounds and no answer is forthcoming. Does the American public not need to know? Do they collectively not want to know?

It is normal and understandable for a person to avoid confirmation of knowledge that would unnerve them or cause them to question that which makes them feel safe or comfortable. One wonders, though, if this is not what drives some mainstream scientists and media personalities to ignore reports of sightings or anomalous activities, to paint such incidents in a glib, humorous light, or deny matters of high strangeness purely as a defensive measure. Is Ufology then being made to suffer due to such psychological responses?

I believe this is what makes Ufology special. It does unnerve. It does unsettle. But there are those who believe it is beneficial, possibly to our survival, to understand the phenomena.
