Yes, but there are plenty who have come forward from the military..and of course govts around the world have been releasing their files. The information is there for anyone to rationally approach the situation with an open mind if they choose to.
If you look to power structures for answers and trust their testimony over your fellow man then there is still a level of programming that has to be removed. If people remain skeptical because the official answer is no, then they aren't willing to believe in themselves. It shows that they can be misled and are capable of being influenced to doubt themselves. People need to seek. If they are told yes, what does that accomplish? The people have to look within themselves and take the situation into their own hands. I guess I just don't like people being given answers without seeking, because it leaves a lot of room for manipulation.
