Please tell your friend that the experiment hasn't worked out very well. :-)
In all seriousness, the fact that the military is the guardian of all information on UFOs should raise a few red flags. Either, the UFOs being sighted are military experiments or that the military is powerless to deal with alien spacecraft and letting us know would result in a crisis of confidence.
My mother dated a retired pilot who claimed to have flown next to a UFO off the coast of Peru. He was a good and credible man and I believed him.
