It would be easy to think that there was some organized conspiracy to keep the secrecy of mythical creatures, but in reality it’s mostly unorganized dumb luck.

Bugbears, man. XD
I think that “humans convince themselves they didn’t see things they don’t think are supposed to be there” is much more reliable for keeping secrets than some vast, shadowy conspiracy.
Conspiracies create obvious gaps and consistent inconsistencies that can be followed and ferreted by the conscientious. Oddball rumors feel just like such to the average joe.
On the contrary, conspiracies create consistencies where there should be none. Consistency is a sure sign of collusion.
Let’s put it this way: The average person could justify to themself that aliens exist and could go their whole lives carrying that belief.
Then, one day, the government comes forward, confirming the existence of UFOs and aliens, releasing footage and documents crediting their claims.
Suddenly, the average person begins to doubt that aliens are real, as they are now the product of human authority, claimed by a system they do not trust.
I love the idea that there really are weird creatures running the world governments, but it’s just random chance and nowhere close to a conspiracy.
The best conspiracies are the ones nobody plans at all.
