Well, most of the times in the case of NASA their "knowlege" would require images. Images illustrate the technology of said alien intelligence. However, you do not know if "knowlege about the aliens is not a national security threat". If you do, show me. So far it seem's anything UFO related is classified. Some is, and some isnt so who know's?
I already did - I talked about the Cuban missile crisis. And the "anything UFO related is classified" is really meant UFO reports which have involved the government, and these have invariably only dealt with military involvement. So the fact that there is National Security censorship
on nearly every official US UFO document (though scarcely is there censorship
of anything of significance) is not really surprising.
I agree that there are some top-secret programs which are classified, but I also feel they wish to hide UFO/ETI for several reason's. One of which is their desire to learn from them, reverse engineer their technology, and make sure other countries do not get to it before our military does.
Lets take it further; On May 1, 1960 an unidentified flying object was flying over the then Soviet Union. Probably nobody except military experts were even aware of it, since it was so high up it could not really be seen from the ground. However, the Soviet military authorities
could see the UFO and were in fact able to shoot it down. They captured the occupant, subjecting the inhabitant to extensive questioning, and examined the remains of the craft, of course - getting as many secrets of the intrusive alien power as they could extract from both craft and occupant, with which it was, believe me, jam crammed full - technology well beyond the Russian's current capabilites. Of course, the full extent of what they learned there was forever kept secret and limited to the very highest security levels.
What is notable, however, is that the fact that the craft had been shot down, the fact that the craft had indeed existed in the first place, the fact that the alien power had been sending craft of this nature, was
not kept secret - in fact it was publicised across all the world.
I am of course referring to the shooting down of the U2 spyplane in 1960 and the capture of its pilot, Francis Gary Powers (1930-1977).
This is what I mean about "knowledge of an alien race". If there was the smallest bit of evidence of intelligence behind what you see in the photographs, of course the greatest military brains would extensively examine every particle of it to extract as much alien technology as possible, and this alien technology would be kept as an utter secret by the powers that discovered the information. But the
fact of an alien presence on the moon would not and in fact
could not be kept a secret, just like US spyplanes over Soviet Russia could not be kept a secret. It would be neither desirable nor possible for the US government to keep the existance of an alien race secret, no matter how much technological knowledge we were getting from them. It's easy, anyway, to keep the complicated specialist knowledge secret, but not the underlying reality.

I understand NASA would classify secret military aifcraft's or test programs. However, I also believe they classify certain (Unknown) aspect's of information about UFO'S and/or ETI.

You seem to only believe they coverup secret military aircrafts. I've never seen any evidence that they have covered up secret governmental crafts. Actually the little evidence or testimony we have point's to UFO/ETI connection, more than a secret craft connection.
Only if you take abduction stories at face value, which too many psychologists in America seem willing to do. (See Carl Sagan's
The Demon Haunted World for a discussion on this). You only have to watch the History channel (at least the UK version) on which there are many programmes about past prototypical military projects which were kept secret for many years and are only now coming to light - one such project I can think of straight away was the Orion nuclear pulse rocket programme. But I still don't see the point - I have not based my reasoning on the idea that the goverment keeps military secrets, not UFO ones, therefore there are only military secrets, not UFOs to keep - I can see the flaw in that logic, so I don't argue that way.
As to your subsequent photographs (and argument with Ophiolite), Ophiolite's point that he's an expert on rocks and photographs of rocks is scarcely answered by a photograph of a big, blurry white blob, now is it? Neither is there anything anomalous about the next photograph. It looks like a hill and it doesn't look remotely artificial. That suposed "U" isn't clear either in your blown up small photograph, and I can't even find it on the big photograph (which just shows a bog-standard moon surface with nothing remotely anomalous about it whatsoever).
