The idea that a civilisation can travel hundreds of light years across the galaxy, gets to Earth, then crashed faster than a drunk teen in an XR3 is nonsense. Also they crash in the bits of the world where the military can secure the site. Its like expecting a level of competence and knowledge from the military that no ex serviceman will ever credit them.
Many people will have a lot to answer for if this story is confirmed to be true, which it most certainly is—that governments knew about this and concealed information. Government trust is already a major issue. They won’t benefit from continuing to deny until the very end.
Do you mean the same MOD that ordered the USSR to stop researching UFOs and to stop shooting them down because they might be able to retaliate in some unknown way?
That MOD, do you mean?
The really crazy thing is that people genuinely believe the MoD is competent enough to cover up a thing like that.

Yes Minister was a documentary. If aliens gave them a time, place and date, *Close Encounters*-style, they’d show up late to the wrong place.
The MOD has finally cracked our procurement issues by outsourcing to Alpha Centauri. Just got to work out the issues with delivery now…
Even if there was a scintilla of truth to this, the current govt wouldn’t tell us until they’d worked out how to monetise it.
