America is the one superpower that both has the security apparatus that playsibly could hide major things, as well as a cultural environment to feed grand narratives as plausible alternatives, whether it would be religious or more secular in nature.
- duxup 4y agoDo they? If they were hiding the existence of aliens that would be pretty extraordinary. Secrets sure but a secret of that magnitude for how long? I’m skeptical.
- JohnFen 4y agoIt defies belief. Secrets can be kept for a long time, but how long is inversely proportional to how many people know the secret and how earthshaking the secret is. Look at it this way -- the US couldn't even keep the development of the atomic bomb a secret. The Earth might be getting visited by aliens -- I mean, it's technically possible -- but it's even less likely that it could be kept a secret by the government if the government were aware.
- corbulo 4y agoHas it been kept a secret? I think its more of a question of whether you believe whats out there or think there isn't sufficient explanation for what 'definitive' evidence there is (tic tac video for example).
