american gov was dropping alien memes for more than a century now. humans trying to launch nukes at alien ship in order to take it down and capture it would be the same as monkey in jungle throwing banana at airplane. even if they do exist their technology is millions of years ahead of our own, we 100% don't have technology to record them and 1000% don't have technology to shut their ship down. at this point it makes more sense to believe that santa claus exists than us government having anything on aliens. usually governments invent some bs reasons to they can steal money, here in serbia its mostly done with fake invoicing or setup tenders, in us they always love to tell some bs story how they are "advancing" or "helping" humanity each time, reminder that musk gave 70 billion usd to his brother's company that he got from state funds for "product quality control" or some bs like that when solar panel bussines emerged back in the day. always keep in mind that these bs stories always have one thing behind them, stealing money by investing in obvious bs.
