An outstanding report. This case is a classic which meets all the criteria necessary for a valid study of the UFO phenomenon: a) the object was seen by multiple witnesses from different locations … and viewpoints. b) the credibility of many of the witnesses was high (an Air Force general, qualified air crews, and experienced radar operators). c) visual sightings were confirmed by radar. d) similar electromagnetic effects (EME) were reported by three separate aircraft. e) there were physiological effects on some crew members (i.e. loss of night vision due to the brightness of the object). f) an inordinate amount of maneuverability was displayed by the UFOs.-12 Government Documents That Take UFO's Seriously

Also if the government did not get involved than maybe we would have a piece of wreckage or something to that effect. Roswell is a good example of this. Major Jesse Marcel who was one of the first on the scene in Roswell and who is the one in the famous picture shown holding a piece of downed weather balloon, came out years later telling what really happened. You can hear the Major describe it in his own words here:
