I didn't even know the world had a leader.

Definite spoof :)
The "crash" at Roswell was a (then) top-secret balloon-borne sound recorder which was listening for Soviet nuclear tests. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Mogul

They've changed their story so many times...

Who? The nonexistent aliens? The US Air Force kept their secret and said nothing until the mid 1990s when the decalssified Project Mogul, and stayed with that ever since. I give no credence at all the UFOnuts. Their stories change with the wind.

I'd rather believe the many thousands of people who report some sort of encounter with ETs than any government body.

And I'd rather believe honest verifiable facts rather than the unsupported and non-credible claims with no evidence to support them.

It's a little strangely ironic that you're taking this position in a post which purports to claim that a Government will announce the presence of aliens.

Thousands upon thousands of individual testimonies. Lots of photos and videos. Even if every witness is delusional and every image faked there's something interesting going on here- and I'd like to know what it is. Just dismissing the phenonomen doesn't cut it for me.

Ironic, perhaps but not ridiculous. The scenario I'm embracing here is that government has known for decades and has been keeping the lid on but now the pressure inside the cooker is so extreme they need to let out a bit of steam. I don't find that implausible.

And yet not one of those "abductions" has ever been scientifically confirmed. Not one sighting has ever been scientifically verified. Hearsay evidence is no evidence at all.

Those "abductions" are more likely sleep paralysis (http://www.csicop.org/si/show/abduction_by_aliens_or_sleep_paralysis).

As Pterry put it, “It's amazing how good governments are, given their track records in almost every other field, at hushing up things like alien encounters. One reason may be that the aliens themselves are too embarrassed to talk about it.

It's not known why most of the space-going races of the universe want to undertake rummaging in Earthling underwear as a prelude to formal contact. But representatives of several hundred races have taken to hanging out, unsuspected by one another, in rural corners of the planet and, as a result of this, keep on abducting other would-be abductees. Some have been in fact abducted while waiting to carry out an abduction on a couple of aliens trying to abduct the aliens who were, as a result of misunderstood instructions, trying to form cattle into circles and mutilate crops.

The planet Earth is now banned to all alien races until they can compare notes and find out how many, if any, real humans they have actually got. It is gloomily suspected that there is only one - who is big, hairy, and has very large feet.

The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head.”

Not a spoof.

yeah, apparently.

No, not a spoof.

I just find it odd that we won't believe Joe Everyman when he says aliens exist but we'd be prepared to believe David Cameron...

I see the Mirror is filling the ecological niche left by the demise of the Weekly World News.

Thanks for sharing this :-)

I did. You really didn't miss all that much. Times were much less tolerant back then.
