There's something to the US government and their interest in UAP.

While at first I thought they were covering up some UFO phenomena, I'm increasingly leaning to the belief that there are a lot of people making a lot of money off of bogus UFO research and they don't want it to come to light.

It’s a democracy, mostly.

Its demos [δῆμος] is weakly educated, poisoned by the self-regard of an imperial metropole, and, of course, of average intelligence.

That the officers of government and their priorities reflect this might be seen as a proper operation of the democracy. Garbage in, garbage out.

It’s also possible it’s all a big reverse-psychology psyop. The US govt acts like it’s covering up captured alien spacecraft, but it gets “leaked” anyway, in order to make adversaries overly cautious about getting into a war, lest the US deploy reverse-engineered alien tech against them.
