He ran with the "there's aliens" story and so did Kennedy. Seriously? Media can't be that corrupt that such a bomb-shell news could be kept under wraps. The source must be unreliable. Chances of an alien civilization coming to earth but not being at least 10k years more advanced in tech, yet getting caught and studied by humans is so unbelievable.

The power imbalance must be like assuming that while studying ant farms, the ant colonies occasionally get to capture the scientists and study them in return.
