Am a former military intelligence officer of an MNNA nation, had SIGINT and VISINT postings during my career including in the aerospace command which is integrated with the national air and strategic missile defence systems and while we could track loose bird flocks with OTH Radar probably as far as the Indian subcontinent we've never seen aliens. Don't get me wrong some of these are really fucked up and can't be dismissed as a weather balloon or a sensor error easily, but saying that UFOs are an open secret is simply wrong. So either the US is unique in the of attention they get or that UFOs ignore the area between the Straights of Gibraltar and the Straights of Aden like a plague which would also contradict the first assumption given the sheer number of US assets in the area.

I also have over a decade of SIGINT experience and can confirm that this persons friend was pulling a hilarious fast one.

  We are living in the age of misinformation. Having people confirm or deny such allegations doesn't really mean anything anymore. If "they" do exist, have enough technology to travel to this planet, control somewhat stealthy drones in our atmosphere which are detected every so often, And don't want to interfer publicly with humanity as proven by their lack of public appearances... Honestly, it's just beyond unlikely. But if they did exist: what does it matter? We wouldn't be able to do anything about it so worrying about them is pointless

    It's not about denying that UFOs exists or that they are non-terrestrial in origin but rather about the notion that UFOs are an open secret in the military which is simply laughable, getting security clearance isn't particularly difficult in the US military if you serve long enough you'll likely to get it. However simply having a clearance isn't the same as being read into a specific program, security clearance just means you can be trusted with secret information it does not grant you access to all classified information matching your clearance. There are 100,000's of radio and radar operators and while a lot of them seen some shit in their life they aren't come out in droves saying yeah the USAF or NAVY thinks knows about UFOs and they are definitely real. Like seriously just think about how many sailors have rotated in and out of CIC duty on say an Arleigh Burke class missile destroyer each of which has probably some of the most advanced tracking radar and sensors developed and they aren't tracking UFOs periodically and when they do they sure as hell aren't treating them as LGM.
