One of the most compelling things to me is the astronauts testimonies. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Gene Cernan, and Gordon Cooper all have reported either first hand experience or second hand knowledge.

Also presidents of the USA. Reagan and Carter both have UFO stories they have talked about openly.

This may account for some of them. Gordon Coopers experience didn't happen in space though. Not saying it's proof but it does cause me to raise an eyebrow.

I seriously wonder if maybe it's just a running joke or something? Only people who work in the field or are exposed to it are somehow in on the joke?

It might not be the worst idea for getting more funding for space projects...
