A UFO cover-up refers to the alleged suppression of information about unidentified flying objects (UFOs) by governments, military organizations, or other entities. The term is often used in the context of conspiracy theories that suggest that evidence of extraterrestrial life or advanced technology has been concealed from the public. In Hebrew, this concept can be translated as תיקון טייסות לא מזוהות (tikun taysot lo mezuhot). In Spanish, it is known as encubrimiento de ovnis, and in French, it is referred to as complot sur les ovnis. Proponents of the UFO cover-up theory argue that governments have hidden crash retrievals, autopsies of alleged extraterrestrial beings, and advanced technology to maintain control and avoid public panic. Skeptics, however, contend that the lack of credible evidence supports the conclusion that UFO sightings can be explained by natural phenomena, human-made objects, or misidentifications. The topic remains a subject of debate among ufologists, scientists, and the general public.
