Astronomers Duped On UFOs?

[AlienSun]

I take issue with the general theme of this thread that seems to give astronomers an excuse for not being aware that strange things in our skies were exactly what they appeared to be.  Given the times--anytime along the way as the "flying saucers" become noteworthy, they could have started a drum-beat toward recognizing the challenge that the observations and hard data tended to indicate.  Obviously, their positions made them extremely vulnerable, if not by direct control, by governmental control by funding, then by a host of other angles problematic to simple common reasoning.
 
Things have not changed.  A blanket silence was and is still the order of the day as the battle to control the nexus of the UFO situation is on tighter and more expansive than it ever was.  The problem today is a shifting of knowledge and awareness as intricate details of human existence are coming to be within focus from other fields.    Our very beginning as a species is being questioned, while on the other hand we have today's largely fanned, senseless outside studies, reports or discussions, from the public side and even from the (joke) governmental side of the matter as the arguments continue over the reality of ETs here or not.
 
Everybody of any value to science or government knew.  The more they knew, the more they had to control.  And the more they had to cover and deny.  Such as it is....
