Right, lets not tell the commander and chief about the impossible things recorded by credible witnesses flying with impunity over american missile facilities. And certainly don't tell him about the paper trail and opinion of the former UAP director regarding 'recovered materials.' That's none of his business...

imo, I completely disagree, all of humanity is owed the knowledge, not just a select few the military deems appropriate.

There might be no link at all. Maybe it's a co-incidence that the US military suddenly, and for no rational reason began funding anti gravity, memory metals, and fusion research in the early 1950s. Just a few years after Trinity. And they're still at it, they just funded 8 universities last week for LENR (aka cold fusion) research.

Why are they intent on studying these fields which are so scientifically unfounded that they are/were almost taboo to study seriously? For 75 years? What do they have to show for that multi-trillion dollar investment?

They know alot more than they say, and they're not sharing observations, or materials which could be studied at greater speed in public. Even the prosaic things.

What's the motivation at this point?
