There are three possibilities here:

1-This is real and the government doesn't care that this guy is talking about it. 0% chance.
2-This isn't real and the government has nothing to do with it. 99% chance.
3-This isn't real and the government has gotten this guy to go around talking about aliens to confuse everyone and hide the fact that they're really just testing the next generation of aviation technology. 1% chance.

There is no option for it being real and the government wanting to keep it a secret, because if they can reverse-engineer alien technology, they sure as hell can hunt down and kill a scientist who is leaking information.

I vote for number two. Still, it makes an interesting story and was pretty well done.

I thought it was a promo for Transformers. It has the Transformers language and explains how their language in and of itself can alter things (so writing this crap on a car would make it be able to do anything)...

"But their technology is different. It really did operate like the magical piece of paper sitting on a table, in a manner of speaking. They had something akin to a language, that could quite literally execute itself, at least in the presence of a very specific type of field. The language, a term I am still using very loosely, is a system of symbols (which does admittedly very much resemble a written language) along with geometric forms and patterns that fit together to form diagrams that are themselves functional. Once they are drawn, so to speak, on a suitable surface made of a suitable material and in the presence of a certain type of field, they immediately begin performing the desired tasks. It really did seem like magic to us, even after we began to understand the principles behind it."

Ya, sounds like Transformers to me.
