No, I was an astronomer, funded by NASA. I was on the proverbial "inside". I would have been one of those TENS of THOUSANDS of people that would have kept this secret for DECADES.
If UFOs, aliens, or any such thing has ever visited the planet in the past 150 or so years, I would know about it, and so would everyone else. Astronomers are not known for their ability to keep things quiet...please note the number of times that an emergency press release has been issued over an asteroid going to strike the earth, only to be retracted 12 hours later after someone actually double checks the calcs.
