There is 1 legitimate reason to keep it a secret. If the technology will guarantee our destruction. For example, if for some reason the technology makes it possible for anyone to create a nuclear bomb level device from their living room.

- hackerlight 3y agoThere's three hypotheses I've heard from UFO types. One is that UFOs are sort of like disposable probes, so them crashing isn't evidence of their incompetence. The second is that alien civilizations are giving us this technology as a gift for our advancement, and they otherwise don't interfere but are there to stop nuclear war. The third is that we are already actually integrated into a galactic civilization, we have a secret base on Mars where we collaborate with aliens, etc.
