It is the Santa Claus problem
There are mountains of evidence and billions of "eyewitness" accounts of Santa, including "NORAD is tracking him". The iconography, imagery, and tales are ubiquitous to the point of it being nearly an independent religion. Yet exactly 100.000...000% of those observations, photos, images are insubstantial.
I want to believe as much as anyone that there are technically advanced aliens nearby who are could and would help us advance.
But all I've seen so far is a lot of interesting and a bit overly credulous accounts, and some fuzzy evidence. And much of it can be accounted for by observer or instrument error. Maybe the classified material has something clear and unequivocal; that'd be nice.
Until we have something clear and revealing, lets investigate by all means. But until then, let's not jump to conclusions either way.
