I agree. In the examples you cite, once the cat is out of the bag, corroborating evidence is quickly found and the "secret" soon unravels. However, when a guy like Bob Lazar suddenly emerges and makes claims about Area 51 citing government coverup and no corroborating evidence is found to back up the conspiracy claims or the alien technology claims, the skeptic radar begins beeping.
