Over the past few years I have had the responsibility of briefing senior government and scientific leaders both in the U.S. and abroad on the UFO/Extraterrestrial subject.

The evidence regarding this subject is clear and overwhelming: It has not been difficult to make a compelling case for the reality of UFOs per se. What is the greater challenge is elucidating the architecture of secrecy related to UFOs (see the exposition of this matter contained in the paper entitled "Unacknowledged" by this author). But the greatest challenge is explaining the 'why'. Why all the secrecy? Why a 'black' or unacknowledged government within the government? Why hide the UFO/ET subject from public view?

The 'what' or evidence is complex but manageable. The 'how' or nature of the secret programs is more difficult, much more complex and Byzantine. But the 'why' - the reason behind the secrecy' - is the most challenging problem of all. There is not a single answer to this question, but rather numerous inter-related reasons for such extraordinary secrecy. Our investigations and interviews with dozens of witnesses who have held Top Secret clearances and worked for such black programs, have enabled us to understand the reasons behind the secrecy. They range from the fairly obvious and straight-forward to the really bizarre. Here, I wish to share some key points regarding this secrecy, why it has been imposed and why it is so difficult for the controlling interests within covert programs to reverse policy and allow disclosure.
