Answer: But we are scientists and we know there is no credible evidence of UFOs as alien spacecraft or of alien visitations to Earth. .

Without actually doing any scientific study on the subject, they KNOW.

Answer (cont): 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 information has not, of course, been kept secret. Millions of people HAVE seen for themselves and collected their own evidence (e.g., MUFON archives). What a totally arrogant BS answer.

Unfortunately, it may also be a totally honest answer from this person's point of view. Scientists are very quick to shoot down any theory that does not correspond to the view that they are heavily invested in. They are, after all, just people. There are numerous historical examples of new theories which were decried as implausible or impossible by scientists of the day that later became the generally accepted theory. Having a closed mind seems to be a normal result of scientific training.

Scientists have yet to treat the UFO question scientifically. They don't even know what current ET evidence exists. The approach I see most often in skeptics magazines is to take a sighting and debunk it in a condescending fashion. Studying UFOs by debunking individual sightings is like studying evolution by debunking individual fossils.

Answer (cont): The fact is that neither scientists nor governments consider any current ET “evidence” credible.

At least not anybody that this dude knows. I seriously doubt that he knows every single scientist and goverment employee in the world. Or, perhaps he knows better and it's simply a lie.
