Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're classified because we are responsible for whatever it is. At the very least, we are closely tracking whichever power is making it happen. I don't think declassifying this stuff is a good idea.
Yeah, as much as I'd love for there to be public proof of extraterrestrial intelligence in my lifetime, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a spook version of the telephone game going on here. Some off the books program where they are bending a few budgetary rules that would get them in hot water with Congress, maybe. That program is compartmentalized from the rest of the intelligence community for obvious reasons (wild technology, rule bending). But eventually someone else inside the government figures out that "they have something". That "something" gets passed along, and passed along in internal discussions, getting slightly wilder with each retelling, until voila ... aliens.
