People keep saying "If there was such a conspiracy, the government couldn't keep it under wraps, someone would say something".
And then someone says something, and they respond with: "If there was such a conspiracy, the government couldn't keep it under wraps, someone would say something"
You are entirely neglecting the requirement that at the end of the days, these leaks need substance: documents, photo, or other actual evidence besides one guy saying someone else overheard a conversation where another person described our secret ET program.
One crank making headlines every few years with nothing that actually backs up their claims doesn’t cut it. By that metric you might as well believe the hundreds of “leakers” claiming the government is made of lizard people.

There is evidence however, things like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Bt6_Potk5Q which are becoming more and more common as time goes on. There does seem to be an increasing willingness to disregard evidence all the while demanding more evidence. Recently the pentagon stated they had hundreds of documents/photographs/videos and what has been released publicly does make this appear legitimate.
Is it an alien spaceship? Probably not. Is it an object flying across a warzone that could potentially be a threat of some kind? Quite possibly.

The interesting part of this news is that this person is not "one crank", he's an actual expert in the field employed by organisations to research this exact phenomena. Recently we have had several such experts come along and make these claims. To dismiss that off-hand doesn't seem particularly reasonable these days.
Nobody denies that military sensors have picked up unexplained phenomena. Does that make it evidence of little green men visiting in spacecraft? Not even close.

And yet here we are again with this one person’s word and nothing in the way of actual evidence.
At this point the earth is blanketed in radar and high definition cameras. Wake me up when there is evidence past a 240p out of focus video or something odd on an infrared sensor 100km away.
I want to believe. I read every book I could find about UFOs when I was a kid. But here we are 30 years later playing out the same tired storylines over and over again.
