Amidst a universe of bizarre conspiracy claims, I find this one of the oddest. The claim is sometimes made that NASA "covers up" discoveries of alien life in order to drag out the search and thereby ensure continual funding from Congress. Rather, it seems to me that the surest way to get Congress to lose interest and
cut NASA's budget is to continue to find little more than rocks and gullies carved by water 2 billion years ago.
