Quite. But aliens don't choose to go and have a looksy at the secret government bases, they get captured, shot down etc. Presumably this is to aquire the technology that the governments obviously need to protect themselves from these things, and that implies that our so called aliens are hostile (either that, or the governments are concerned that they may be hostile). The truth is, none of us are ready to know that aliens exist, maybe in a couple of thousand years when we are colonising other solar systems, but not now. Unless of course, the worlds governments can come out with some sort of life saving technology that they have been developing all this time.
Another theory I have had on this, is that in fact, the governments have known all along, and that they have been making earth look like a target to attract more aliens, and therefore more intelligence. But this is far fetched.
One thing that puzzles me greatly however, is how the people can think that governments have all the power over this. They cannot change what people have seen, no matter how much they can silence them. When I think about it, people seem to want the governments approval that what they have seen or encountered was real, and that they are doing something about it. The mere fact that our whole world seems to place itself at the mercy of government agencies angers me - We are all people, and if it weren't for us people, there would be no armies and such to fight for the governments twisted causes - They have no regard. If we are going to fight these aliens, it should be something that we should all know about, and eventually, we will have to know if we are to combat them - This leads me to disbeleive all the government coverups, and that in fact, the governments know nothing.
I mean, if you were a retired airforce general, all you had to look forward to was a lousy state pension, and a regimental, purposeless 30-40 years on the horizon, wouldn't you consider writing a bullshit novel about covert alien operations etc. to boost your bank account? I certainly would, and I am sure most other people would aswell.
I dunno, call me a hypocrite, call me whatever you like (Jacob, Facs, please don't take this as an invitation

) but I just don't think that the US government, along with others, know as much as we think.
One thing I do know though, is that there are some very strange things that have happened, that physically can't have happened - all things that governments cannot cover up - Rods for example, that move too fast for the human eye to see, and appear to exist at a sub molecular level, and can therefore pass through nets and walls etc.
Like the unverse, this topic is an open ended one. It has no answers, only possibilities.
Relating to the Universe; Black occurs where there is no light. No light occurs where light is not being reflected. Either this means that light escapes through the walls of our universe, or light hasn't yet reached the walls of our universe, OR our universe has no walls, and is of infinate size and capacity.
