I think the reply to this question just about sums up the arrogant stance that NASA scientists have on the topic.
Question
There is plenty of credible evidence to support that Extraterrestrial life forms have been visiting Earth. It's up to the leaders of the world to decide when to officially acknowledge and disclose the truth. NASA Astrobiologists want to discover ET life on "their" terms, so you continue to deny the reality and ridicule UFOs. Even the Vatican has been making statements lately which seem support openness to the idea of Extraterrestrial life and how humanity should except it.
Answer
Astrobiologists have a major professional interest in extraterrestrial life. There is nothing that most astrobiologists would rather do than discover evidence of extraterrestrial life. But we are scientists and we know there is no credible evidence of UFOs as alien spacecraft or of alien visitations to Earth. Wanting it does not make it real. I strongly disagree with your characterization of extraterrestrial visitors as something that governments know but are withholding. That makes no sense. Governments are made up of people, literally millions of them, representing a wide variety of cultures, religions, and political points of view. It is inconceivable that all these millions of people from so many backgrounds would be keeping this information secret. Besides, there is no way this would be known only to governments. There are many more millions of people (astronomers and astrobiologists among them) who can see for themselves and would collect their own evidence. The fact is that neither scientists nor governments consider any current ET “evidence” credible.
