When an extraterrestrial donates $100 to Cato, they’ll recognize them.

On Jan. 10, just one day after my article on UFO secrecy appeared in this newspaper and on this Web site (“Intelligent Extraterrestrial life: The Other Inconvenient truth?” Jan. 9), I was unceremoniously dropped as a Cato Institute adjunct scholar,

That's what happens when you jump off the deep end.

IMVHO the UFO’s are our next gen projects that need to be kept secret - free world depend’s on them not getting into the hands of the reds, islamopsychos, or most politicians...

Cato is Libertarian right?

If he went to Washington to beg for legalization of recreational drugs they’d pin a badge on him.
Talk about one of their many many crazy views that they don’t want to feature and he’s toast.

Interest in UFOs, even they are completely imaginary, is relatively harmless, and the ridicule and harm accrues to the practitioner.

Ever wonder why this didn't happen to the anthropogenic Global Warming crowd? I sure can't figure it out.

If they can be given drivers licenses and can vote ‘Rat, then they will be disclosed in a heartbeat and get free healthcare to boot!

What these people are in fact asking for (whether they know it or not) is the declassification of military research projects.

The reason the military doesn't want to talk about UFOs is because it's likely that these craft being spotted are experimental military aircraft that we don't want our rivals finding out about.

In fact, allowing conspiracy theories to be built up around it distracts from that likely explanation.

“””IMVHO the UFO’s are our next gen projects that need to be kept secret”””

The SR-71 Blackbird was probably 50 years ahead of it’s time.

I would not be surprised if they were playing around with Antigravity - projecting technology decades in the future they could be working on just about anything

Wormhole-traveling space monsters don’t exist. But I sure don’t want to see anyone lose their jobs for speaking their mind.

I'm ever so sure the government knows the difference and can declassify the appropriate material.
