I've been in the high tech. industry for over 30 years and I know for a fact that the government has tech. not available to the rest of us and that they suppress commercial tech all the time. One technique is to classify patents they don't want used and another is to simply confiscate your operations. Had that happen to a guy I knew. It's a deep rabbit hole.
Plenty of weapons technology not available to the rest of us. No surprise in that, But not always hidden. Not always secret. And not from another planet. And typically produced by civilian companies. Has your guy gone public? Written a book?
I will admit that I had one invention disclosure "disappeared" by my company's security staff. I had produced a categorical solution to a very vexing classified problem (elaborated in an article in Aviation Week). To me, it was obvious. Any Iranian chemistry grad student could have arrived at the same answer. I'm not overly bothered. The same obvious answer will occur to somebody else---but not to us, I'm sorry to say.
