2. A bunch of high ranking and formerly high ranking military personnel with legit world altering responsibilities are gullible enough to be seriously mislead about all of the above and are easy to fool. This has allowed other people to seriously misappropriate taxpayer funds for decades with no oversight.
3. Non-human intelligence exists
All of these are stories worthy of intense scrutiny and investigation.

Number 2 is quite possible. If this is technology with the purpose of trying to trick an adversary, it would make sense to test it on some of your own people first to see if it works as intended.
I wouldn't go as far as to call them gullible or foolish though, if the goal was to trick them. If the government or military wants to trick people, they will find a way.
