Hippi,
Hoax abound around this "modern mythology", but this phenomenon goes back to the ancients and has assumed culturally appropriate guises for whatever era in which it has popped-up.
Keep that healthy skepticism, but I don't get the "deja vu about this", you feel. And why do you figure the Disclosure of "Extraterrestrials" would be compatible with atheism?
My guess is that any such Disclosure would rock the boat of atheists, religionists, secularists, etc., ... 'nother words, ACROSS THE BOARD ROCKING THE WORLDVIEW of EVER ONE!
"Why wasn't this on the 6 o'clock news?", you ask?
DannyBoy Rather would be the very last to report the existence of "Others".

neyank,
So you are familiar with "The Kingdom of Nye"?
Me too! 'course, I'm an Insomniac.
Those gigantic craft spotted around the globe... what's your bet
they are the work of Black Ops Projects using a suppressed technology?
"What would we say to someone that told us that they have seen a UFO?", you ask.
They get razzed and dismissed. If they are ridiculed, it's way easier to pretend the phenomenon is imaginary. Those who heap the most ridicule, I think, are the most frightened of the Unknown. They probably 'whistle when they walk through the cemetery'.
"Did they have anything to do with the early religions?"
Call aliens by the term "Discarnate Entities", and it might be easier to see their influence in religions.
"Could it all be a hoax?"
No, not ALL of it.
"Interesting indeed."
Indeed.

ianao,
"It's really good to see this stuff come out into the open."
High Time!
Thanks for all the swell links!
Looks like the major media can ignore a major story for only so long.
"(I knew there was a reason to blank out most of the info on the Blue Book documents when they were declassifed!)"
I've seen that! Not just single lines were blacked out, but WHOLE pages were solid black.

Riz and Perfesser,
... y'all are so Goofy! heeee.

JanH,
We have GOTS to get you to believe in SOMETHING!
You were going to tell me how your recent ride in that Flying Kraft went.
K'mon, details!

UnkB,
That AWAKE! magazine with feature on UFOs is the real deal.
I think it was some kind of response to the widespread sightings
of the 'Westchester Wing' in the mid-Hudson Valley near WTFarms.
The closest town, Pine Bush, was deluged with the curious and sighter s
and was called one of the top 'UFO Hot Spots' in the world
for several years. It was the subject of several books.
My guess, is that many of the Fanatix were quizzing the Kult
about what's goin' on? what's the deal with these strange sightings?
So, the WTS at some point, HAD to print a response.
(my speculation, of course)
"I was born and raised close to Australia s area 51. (note the recent unmanned flight from area 51, which doesn't exist, to WRE (weapons reasearch establishment)"
Unk, isn't the "Australian Area 51" in Alice Springs, and hasn't the USGovernment
sunk a LOT of US Tax Dollars into it??
"Contrary to popular jibing most UFO sightings come from very credible witnesses, trained observers like airline pilots and astronomers."
Thank you. Maybe JanH will read that...

d0rkyd00d,
"Actually, if everybody remembers correctly, aliens may have already been found. remember the possible fossils of those small bacterial worms on mars?"
Did you read what Sir Arthur C. Clarke observed recently about the LARGE Worms on Mars? Velly interesting, considering who's making the comment.

metatron,
Hey, isn't "metatron" the Entity who inspired Carlos Santana
and his Grammy-winning "Supernatural" CD?
"On the other hand, I realize that it might be the
most ethical thing to do to keep the matter away from
full disclosure. Many people are not prepared for proof
of extraterrestrial life (like The War of the Worlds panic)."
Could not disagree more.
Who has the right to decide what the public should or should not know?
Let the people decide if they are ready to know what has long been
kept hidden. Most people are curious and not Ostriches.
I'm against censorship, and especially against the suppression
of something so potentially important to the world.
"The French government issued an amazing
private report a couple years back (the "Cometa" report)
that criticized US secrecy and said an ET explanation
for UFOs was the most likely hypothesis."
Have you ever read "The Brookings Institute Report" commissioned
by NASA in 1960, and its finding that the public would be put into
a panic at the Disclosure of the existence of aliens, either by
actual contact or the discovery of alien artifacts in our
Solar System?
Here it is:

Do you have any kind of link for the "Cometa Report"?
"Now that, would be an interesting way for the WTS to end!"
Yeah, or the WTS could jump on a bandwagon, and say: "See? we were right all along. "New Light" from "Old Light"! Decades ago, we reported that jehovah was an alien! who lived in the Pleiadian star system on Alcyone and had his emissaries travel back and forth to Earth in starships to enlighten those who composed the 144,000 faithful ones who were glad to channel the alien/angelic transmitters of The One True Knowledge, ... or some such. Look it Up! It's in our books."
