Sure the government lies and cover-up stuff all the time!
Questions should be; what is it the government is covering up when they do so? Why do they go to such efforts to cover up what they don't want us to know?

It is assumed by UFOlogists that the government, especially the CIA, is lying and covering up alien landings and communication.
It has already been proven that the government does lie on UFOs. That was clearly evident when the CIA was taken to court and afterwards,all of these government UFO documents began to flow out into the open like water flowing over waterfall. The CIA was also caught again when it claimed that the U-2 was explained away as a UFO back during the 1950's when in fact, the government explained the U-2 as a high-altitude weather aircraft. In fact, the government went so far as to apply NASA markings on the U-2 to hide its true mission. I have provided the specifies on what took place several times in the past on this board and elsewhere.
The list goes on and on and it is very clear the government has been lying to us about UFOs, which was evident when the public found out about the Air Force Academy's science book of the 1960's. Here is a case where they were telling their cadets one thing on UFOs, and painting a completely different picture for the public.

The common thought is that still not released reports or blacked out parts of a released report is evidence of ET. There are many reasons why they would blackout parts of a report.
That might be a reason why there is a shortage of 'black ink' in Washington D.C., since the govenment uses a lot of 'black ink' on its UFO documents.

However, there is no evidence for this other than a general distrust of the government and the fact that many government officials have lied, distorted the truth, and been mistaken when reporting to the general public.
Actually, the military have already released documentation on its own UFO encounters and the RB-47/UFO encounter is one example of many. Even the FAA has released specifics on the JAL/UFO encounter over Alaska in 1986, which corroborated the reports of the aircrew that they were trailed by flying saucers, one of which was larger than ships.

The CIA, however, has shown little interest in UFOs since about 1950, except to encourage UFOlogists to believe that reconnaissance flights and other experimental aircrafts might be of extraterrestrial origin.
On the contrary, documentation available under the FOIA, has shown that the CIA was very much involved in UFOs.
So you see, there is much to learn, and all it takes is to go outside and see what is going on in the world.
