I suspect once every president had been more-or-less informed of the evidence collected over the many decades few ever had the courage break tradition, especially when BO's closest advisers and aids are likely to tell him the experts still don't know what most of the "stuff" does. I think Regan probably came the closest to upsetting the apple cart. He was able to get away with it because he could frame the question in a safe make-believe "what if" scenario relying on his old B-movie actors days, such as when he addressed the United Nations about how the world could come together to protect the common good from an unspecified foreign threat. It was amusing that Regan never actually uttered the words "aliens" or "UFOs" when addressing his audience. He just gestured nervously, pointing upwards with his finger. Even Regan couldn't bring himself to utter the dirty words in public. Regan's off-the-record comment to Spielberg concerning the UFO enigma when Spielberg debuted his film, CE3K, at the White House was classic. But getting back to contemporary times, what's could BO say that would resolve an enigma for which a thousand different expert opinions exist? UFOs are real? Then what? "Just eat your mashed potatoes. ...and stop playing with them, please!" BTW, what has Obama had to say on UFOs? Has he expressed any position at all?
