During the 70's or 80's Soviet subs were detecting these "quacking" sounds in the Antarctic. They were puzzling and many thought that it was the aliens or super secret Western technology.

It turned out to be whales.
There were other sounds like the "Bloop" which turned to be ice quakes.
> Or maybe he was just trolling us
I also had an uncle in the Soviet military and he did like to troll us. When rumors of aliens become popular in the tabloids, he convinced a good number of people from his village that aliens have landed in the woods. It was actually a lightning strike which caught some trees on fire but, but he got them to believe it was a landing zone for an alien spacecraft.
On a more serious note, I can't believe any government can keep a tight enough lid on something like that. Someone, somewhere is bound to defect or to leak it is somehow.
Except that what you are swatting away with that comment is someone claiming to have heard that leak. One could also look at the NYT article as another leak, no?
I would think that if one had something top secret like this that one desperately wanted to keep under wraps despite the inevitable leak, the best strategy might well be to intentionally sow lots of bogus UFO sightings and create a subculture of UFO paranoia, so that when the true leaks eventually happen they are lost in the noise.
Which of course does not mean that is necessarily what has actually been happening.
Yap. I'll swat a lot of online comments claiming someone heard there are aliens visiting earth from their uncle. I'll also swat away similar claims about contrail or lizard people. What would be the logical reason not to swat them away?
You can ask what would take not to swat them away? How about specific details about aliens, new technology example or some breakthrough in physics or other science possible from this alien technology. A clear video or these spaceships not some blurry shape moving on the screen.

Is it? It's a leak of the existence of UFO. There is not doubt UFOs exist, I am not sure that's proof of aliens.

I would also intentionally sow bogus UFO sightings if I wanted to hide program to test experimental aircraft.
I haven't seen anything to discredit the message from the witnesses in the video, but the guy who organised the Disclosure Project (Steven Greer) is really convinced that ET are here.
In the many years and countless thousands of miles of voyages that followed, I never heard a goddamned thing. Oh well.
