Why do astronauts are not allowed to reveled what they see on space?

Question

I know they have seen something but why won't they tell us?

Answer 1

Where do you conspiracy theorists get your 'secret information' from, anyway? You make these wild-eyed claims of certainty that NASA is hiding something, with no factual basis whatsoever.

It's almost certainly true that there are other creatures out in space, but space is a VERY big place, and humans have explored only a tiny little bit of it. I doubt that any astronauts have yet seen anything remarkable.

Answer 2

No such "contract" exists.  I know of no instance in which an astronaut has said he couldn't say what he saw in space.

The notion that astronauts are somehow sworn to secrecy over things like aliens is a fabrication by people who want you to believe space aliens are already visiting Earth and interacting with some upper echelon.  As with most conspiracy theorists, these groups divide society into the Oppressed Masses and the Evil Authorities.  Access to aliens and their supposed miraculous benefits are among what is postulated to separate the elite from you and me.

But there's no evidence that space aliens are visiting Earth.  So in order to maintain their beliefs while at the same time explaining the total lack of evidence, the conspiracy theorists have to suppose that all the evidence is being suppressed and kept secret so effectively that none exists except rumors.  Astronauts naturally fall into the category of people who would allegedly need to know about such things, and so are supposedly sworn to secrecy.

In the grand scheme of things it's not a theory or an explanation for anything:  it's merely a speculative excuse for why the facts don't fit their beliefs.

Answer 3

Hmm.

Good question.

I dont know.

Answer 4

The early astronauts were briefed about possible social panic;  they were told not to joke about aliens or flying saucers.  As for not reporting what they see, if anthing, they're asked to be "diplomatic" in their descriptions and identifications - to avoid misunderstandings and prevent rumors about aliens popping up.

I don't know if they're briefed in such manners anymore....

Answer 5

Ri-i-i-i-i-i-ght.  Astronauts and cosmonauts, interviewed hundreds of times over their lifespan, are sworn to secrecy about something they may or may not even see.

Sure thing.  Just remember, they might reveal the truth about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

Oh, and Bugs Bunny just saved the Earth by stealing the Deutronium Pu-238 Space Modulator from Marvin the Martian . . .

Sheesh.  Where do these guys come from?

Answer 6

Most astronauts get a few hundred miles above the ground.  Given the actual size of space, they may as well be still on the ground.  What do they see that we can't see?  Not much.

The reason they don't talk about UFOs and aliens is that they are generally sane level headed people with science or engineering degrees.  They know that sightings of aliens and so forth is either fraud or delusion.  They do not see these things and so they do not talk about them.  

There are hundreds if not thousands of professional and amateur astronomers round the world looking at the skies each night.  There are thousands of professional and amateur radio people listening to all sorts of different radio frequencies all the time.  Not a single one of these experienced people has produced a credible and evidence-backed detection of aliens or UFOs.  Not one.  Not all of them are "controlled" by the US or any other government either.  

No serious scientist believes in this UFO drivel.

Answer 7

And what exactly are you basing this on?

They send back pictures and video all the time.  Ever watched the NASA TV station?

Answer 8

Astronauts have given hundreds of interviews telling us what they saw in space.

Answer 9

You heard something wrong. There is no such contract and astronauts are usually very expressive about their experiences in space. Just read the book Jerry Linenger wrote about his time on Mir. The whole book is reason enough for censorship and force him wear a pink dress. What most other astronauts described with calm words and rational assessment, became a major scaring catastrophe for him. What a chicken! But nobody stops him.

The most likely cause, when an astronaut does not talk about creatures in space, is that there are no creatures in space.

And how can you know they have seen something, when they don't say, they have seen something and if you have not been to space yourself?

Or do you see huge creatures in space with a telescope? If you see large ants walking over the moon: Clean your mirror.

Answer 10

to give those people employment who make conspiracy theories.

and i personally believe that it not just difficult but practically impossible for them to see some aliens. why would the aliens remain in space, they would most definitely would want to come to earth.

and maybe they do not hide everything, only the most essential ones,

Answer 11

Who told you that?  I understand your quasi-religious need to believe in something greater than yourself.  You have chosen aliens.  But there are no aliens anywhere around Earth.  Interstellar distances are just too far.  Aliens can't get here.  We can't get there.  We will never know if there are any aliens.  No one is keeping secrets from you.  Our government is very bad at keeping secrets.  

May I suggest that if you must raise some creature to the status of a god, there is a perfectly good LIVING choice:  the cat.  Cats were sacred to the Egyptians for thousands of years.  What does an alien have that a cat does not?  Anyone who knows cats is aware of their superiority to mere mortals.  Forget aliens.  Worship a good, top-quality cat.  

Answer 12

it would cause chaos and  ur government would have to admit there wrong

and u know them they perfect ......... choke.

Answer 13

It was me they saw. IT WAS ME I TELLS YA! They saw me in my rocket powered sled! ZOOM! ZOOM!

But seriously, there is no conspiracy to keep silent about ET's. You can't keep quiet about something that doesn't exist. Even Bill Nye the Science Guy says with all the telescopes a lookin', we would seen one by now.
