Is it your contention that everything that a government authority says must be false? So that any time a scientist and a government authority agree, the scientist must be lying?

o.k., and what is their unique common view? that UFOs are "swamp gas".. is this a coincidence?
|
The common viewpoint is that evidence doesn't support that UFOs are alien spacecraft. I see nothing unique in this. There are many technical subjects with a common accepted position based on the evidence (or in this case, lack of supporting evidence for an argument).

but now, we have an apparent union between the two to discredit any discussion of UFOs..

We do? What is your evidence? And, by the way, who are "the two"? You've referred to "Uncle Fed," so I'm guessing you are referring to some authority in the U.S. government (as opposed to governments in general). Is this true? Is there any specific authority in the government you are referring to? After all, even the U.S. Federal government is far from monolithic. And who is the other of these two? Particular scientists? Particular types of scientists? Scientists and engineers? Something else?

i just believe this is not a coincidence, that there is something more going on than a mere convergence of views that happen to involve UFOs..

I don't think it is coincidence either. I think that the evidence doesn't support alien spaceships, just as it doesn't support alien cities on the moon, ESP, dowsing rods, and so forth. Hence the "convergence of views" on subjects that lack evidence.
