Why would they cover it up anyways? I don't see what they'd gain from it. I thought coverups are to hide criminal activity, or to keep secret military plans.

To keep the masses from freaking the **** out.

UFO means anything not identified. There are UFOs all the time. That doesn't mean aliens. Sorry.

Obviously, but in popular vernacular, it means aliens.

I'm guessing it would worsen the economic crisis, weaken the governments ability to govern, and lead to a rise in crime. Conversely, it costs the government nothing to deny the existence of UFOs.

So UFOs are Mexican?

Only if they are catapulted over the border fence and have a mask on.

Do you think any alien species with the intelligence and technology to travel between stars might better things to do than fly around terrorizing people, occasionally kidnapping one to probe their assholes?

Depends on what that alien species thinks is better. I imagine that random terror and ******* probing is unlikely, but conquering planets seems reasonably likely.

Of course, this assumes a unified species that somehow has species-wide agreement. I imagine any real alien species would be at least as varied and have at least as much internal disagreement, and a similar breadth of faults and virtues as our own (although not necessarily the same faults and virtues.)

Judging by the amount of anal porn out there, our culture places a high value on anal probing, but I don't see anyone advocating for a bigger NASA budget so that we can go find alien assholes to ****.
