It's no secret that many cases simply defy explanation. In fact, there is every indication that indeed, something was very much present to be reported. Radar and visual confirmations by sources such as the military or commercial airlines top the lists as credible sources. Whether or not they are reports involving alien craft is what's often claimed or implied, but the truth is left up in the air. Of course.
Should a testing of our country's air defenses take place by another nation, such as overflying our airspace to test our radar capabilities or response time;It's every bit concievable that a coverup of a sort will take place should this happen. And in fact it is known that this very thing has happend, and been engaged in by the U.S. with other countries.
It's not a good idea to let potential adversaries know your capabilities, so naturally a block of information regarding the incident may take place. Pilots will be told to keep silent, and records will be sealed.
In another scenario experimental aeronautical equipment may be spotted by civilians. Depending upon it's nature, it could very well be desired that absolutely no informaton regarding it reach open channels. And so again, secrecy is enacted.
Over time, a considerable file of such incidences may build up, and represent a morass of information that the government simply is not inclined to revisit without specific reason.
Myself I feel these are exactly the sort of things that result in documents obtained by FOIA arriving blacked out and unreadable.
Excluding the more recent files for obvious reasons, what about all the old stuff? Are official docs regarding Mogul still worth considering sensitive? Are cases involving long defunct experimental aircraft still important enough to merit secret classification? Are the files regarding early adversarial incursions into our airspace still in need of protection?
And finally, would it even be worth the effort on the part of the angencies involved to release these files? How can those who believe these files to actually represent encounters with alien craft be satisfied that they really are nothing more than the above, when the whole thing was covered in "conspiracy" to begin with?
Can they be satisifed?

I thought it was pretty plain.
"Are official docs regarding Mogul still worth considering sensitive? Are cases involving long defunct experimental aircraft still important enough to merit secret classification? Are the files regarding early adversarial incursions into our airspace still in need of protection?
And finally, would it even be worth the effort on the part of the angencies involved to release these files?"
Are you familiar with the failure of the government to declassify a great many documents, and the pro et advocates assertions that this indicates a covering up of the "truth" about et?
What is the problem? I honestly dont see what is hard to understand about the questions. Pardon me for asking. I had this crazy idea that I could get a topic I'm interested in started.
