Something to think about people. If 250,000 thousand or so peolpe were to simply walk up to the main gate at area 51 and demand answers,what would happen? People seem to forget our democratic freedoms and rights expressed clearly in the dec. of independence. You see if we feel that our govt is hiding something that could put our lives in danger or worse it is our right to know. Even if it is a hi tech new spacecraft,why keep it so secret and why need it in the first place? And if it is alien then unless they dont feel that there is some form of danger from it,why conceal it? In conclusion people if you want answers you need unity one person will never get the answers. Only a great majority can be effective so maybe its time to start getting some real answers. What do you think??
ok, i'll bite.
let's look at this from a national security angle. in your line of thinking there is no need for anything to be secret. let's look at another secret program, the A-Bomb. do you think it would be wise for america to have open access to the public during the development of the A-Bomb? this would mean that our enemies during World War II would have known what we were working on and how it worked. they could have developed their own program and thrown a couple of nukes our way. so obviously it was wise to keep development of the A-Bomb a secret.
now let's look at stealth technology, something that actually was and probably still is being developed at area51. do you really want our enemies having this technology? do you really want North Korea, which is now actively developing nuclear bombs and missiles that can hit the USA mainland, to be able to fly right through our defenses without us even knowing it until it is too late?
obviously it is not in the best interest of the american people for open access to everything. i completely agree that some things should be kept secret. i dont feel the need to jeopardize our nation just to satisfy the curiousity of a few people.
