- Now Paul, there are literally thousands of documented, legitimate
- sightings of UFOs from credible sources across the globe. QED. The
- question turns from whether the UFOS exist (which they do, regardless
- of manifestation), to what exactly the UFOs are. And isn't that why
- we all really ask ourselves these strange questions? We don't know
- WHAT the UFOs are, REALLY, although each one of us probably has our
- suspicions/theories.

- Ever hear of "sensitive compartmented information"? There are
- probably thousands of documents that even the President can't read,
- because the docs are clasified on a "need to know" basis; and there
- are intelligence secrets that even the Pres. has no "need to know".
-
- The only "evidence" that points to secret UFO briefings for US
- presidents is the MJ-12 documents, and we don't even know that those
- docs aren't a hoax (or just plain ol' disinformation). But...
-
- (let's consider MJ-12 for just a moment, and consider it to be true):
-
- Intelligence agencies, while by law required to hold themselves
- accountable to Congress and/or the Pres., are, by nature, running an
- agenda of their own. It's the nature of the game. If an intelligence
- agency perceives someone to be a threat to their mission, steps are
- taken--Even if that "someone" is a General, or Congressman, or even
- the President.
-
- "What If" one of our presidents fell out of favour with MJ-12? (are
- bells ringing? If you're a conspiracy theorist, they should be...)
- An agency such as MJ-12, considering the high stakes of the
- (hypothetical, mind you) mission, may have decided to take the mission
- even further "underground", as it were...
-
- In other words, maybe our presidents haven't been made aware of MJ-12
- for several elections now (perhaps since JFK???):-):-)
-
- But hey, this is all just hypothesizing, which, unfortunately, is all
- we can do in the absence of hard evidence. C'est la guerre...
- Without some sort of "smoking gun", there is no truth-- only myth.
