the limited point of view of the humans that happen to inhabit Earth.
    Partial (Controlled) Disclosure
    A partial, or limited, Disclosure confirms the basic fact that “we are not alone,” and tries to manage the tidal wave of questions and accusations on a case-by-case basis. Essentially, this is a stall for time. One motivation for this strategy comes from the top: to conceal crimes that have been committed while preserving the secret. Also, the secret-keepers can reassure themselves that they are giving the public a chance to absorb this new information in a calm manner, preventing a panic and societal implosion.
    Even so, simply announcing that “they’re here” will break like a tidal wave over the public’s consciousness. The “go slow” approach would be an attempt by governments to appear forthcoming, but also evaluating the evidence in a deliberate, responsible manner.
    This will still be a death by a thousand cuts. Here, the information is dribbled out piecemeal; much of it is protected and released unwillingly. It is not a pleasant strategy, yet it will be the favored one. It is the only way for those erstwhile secret-keepers (now forced to be secret-givers) to try to maintain some semblance of control over the situation. This has been their obsession and a mission for a long time, and will not cease because of a forced announcement. They, and their representatives, will still face a set of difficult questions where “no comment” will not satisfy.
    It is not just that all of the information released at once would be unsettling. It is that any part of all of the information will be unsettling and potentially explosive. For instance, how might Disclosure affect the financial markets, given that there will be technologies from UFOs that may be introduced? How might these same technologies affect international relations? What if the Others have substantial underground bases here on Earth—does one come out and just say so? What if some of them look like us —would it be a good idea to mention this? How does one talk about abductions? What if there had been some measure of collaboration between them and certain intelligence groups? How bad might public panic be?
    Because of these concerns, even if there is a mass sighting those in charge of maintaining the secret may only confirm the existence of one species, possibly the common “Grays,” providing the information that they are from Zeti-Reticuli, if that is the case (and assuming this information is known), or naming where they do come from, if it is not. This will be a significant bombshell, of course. Yet, it would only be a very limited disclosure if the truth turns out to be that there are dozens of other species observing us from other worlds, dimensions, or times.
    This means that the “big picture” spills out first, while the media—asleep at the switch all these years—tries to repair its damaged reputation by leaping on the story. It will usher in a true battle royale over what we “need to know.” Even though the public will eventually answer that question with a definitive everything , that will come later, as the days turn to weeks, then to months, then to years.
    False (Deceptive) Disclosure
    Nothing is a certainty in the world of trillion-dollar secrets, security classifications that are levels above the president, and lies and deception going back for more than half a century. It is possible to imagine a situation where the true holders of the secret know they have to say something important in order to appease a demanding population. They would then offer up a form of Disclosure that is only a bigger lie.
    In the event of a widely recorded mass sighting, for instance, the strategy would be to admit that, yes, something unusual was flying in the sky, and was actually classified human military technology. In other words, they confirm that the hardware exists, but insist it is entirely human. They then fall back on national security,
