A lot of people have remarked that the government couldn't keep a secret this big for so long. This is correct but misses the point that this secret wasn't kept. I've heard this story multiple times in my life, it's been a staple of US lore for decades and numerous whistleblowers have come forward in the past to retell it. All have been discredited and often smeared as nuts and the media has reported as much and moved on. If this really is true and they really do have a massive disinfo campaign to protect it, we have no choice but to admit that they have never kept a lid on this through secrecy, they have done it through character assassination and control of the media narrative, turning anyone who speaks up into a lunatic off his meds, a liar, and so on, and then moving the public's eye onto something else. That this strategy has worked so effectively and for so long is scarier than aliens, IMO.
