“To reduce rumours and misinformation and to frame single or multiple UFO events, it would be advisable to announce that UFO’s exist as early as possible,” says Moroney, an instructor at the University of Calgary and author of The New Bridge – Planning for the Extraterrestrial Presence.

“I am convinced that it is time for us to make a considerable effort to lift the veil of fear and uncertainty about this subject and develop an appropriate response,” he says.
While it is widely surmised that the reason governments keep UFO records secret is to avoid widespread panic, Moroney, who has a background in science and is executive director for the Alberta Municipal Health and Safety Association, says that’s not likely to happen. In fact, withholding information could even be counter-productive.

“From our work with disaster planning, the evidence shows that public panic is rare and most rare when people have been candidly informed,” he says.

“There is no sound scientific basis for withholding information about the UFO phenomenon from the public. In fact the evidence shows that the longer officials withhold any worrisome information, the more frightening the information will seem when it is revealed, especially when it is revealed by an outside source.”
