Again your assuming a lot in order to have this opinion, I think they covered up high atmosphere balloons that monitored the evil communist nuclear testing, paranoia that time in US history was beyond high.
Its not a cover up, more likely its the answer you don't like because its boring and part of the typical paranoia of information the military likes to protect.

Thor, your a skeptic and thats fine but at least admit that the governments tend to squash the big events and look stupid doing so.

Oh I distrust the government as much as you do, especially the military. There is a great deal on the line with major industry and 10's of billions of dollars at stake. But I don't think there's a cover up of any alien crash.

Just look at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (hanger 18) It doesn't house secret aircraft for testing,nukes..etc. it's mostly used for the heavy hauls of the airforce (C-5 etc.) yet there are 3 buildings there that the president couldn't get in. It's on par with area 51 but at least Nellis has a history of secret aircraft testing and atomic bomb testing. Every time someone asks what those buildings are used for they just get "what buildings?"

Again, not sure what that's about, if you can provide links to where a president was refused access I'd love to see them.
Like photon and others have said, denial or lack of acknowledgment isn't proof of anything, you have assumed a lot in suggesting not only that there's a massive conspiracy which would require literally thousands of people to keep quiet about the biggest discovery in human history, but that we know secrecy amongst high tech development in the military and private sector is beyond what you could imagine, these people are protecting private inventions worth billions and in the eyes of the military protecting technology that gives their country a huge edge in war and future conflict.

I met a guy (civilian) who worked on that base a few years back, I asked him if he every asked about what takes place there. He said during his interview he was told anyone who asks any questions about the base if fired pronto..don't ever ask or talk about the base...ever.
Sorry but that's plain weird in my mind.

Why is that weird, that's common amongst intelligence officials from all countries, there are people with access and people without. Need to know isn't about cover up, its about protecting lives and holding advantages in the intelligence industry.
CIA employees experience this daily, there are multi level access, those with the access don't ever discuss what they know, those below are not only expected to accept they can't know more than they are allowed to, but to not be upset by it. Difficult at best, considering human curiosity.
Instead of considering this is about secrecy in military and intelligence you suggest its aliens and government cover ups.
Which is more believable?
