What happened to EgyptAir flight 990? Was it really an act of suicide by the pilot??? Look at this...?

Why is this crash still widely believed to be an act of suicide, when the only evidence that supports it is the fact the pilot disengaged the autopilot and was navigating the plane downwards... what made it even more fishy and dubious, is this quote I found by the NTSB(NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD) while summing up the investigation: "Investigators cannot rule out the possibility that the RFO may have taken emergency action to avoid a collision with an unknown object. Although plausible, this theory cannot be tested because the United States has refused to release certain radar calibration and test data that are necessary to evaluate various unidentified radar returns in the vicinity of Flight 990." WHY WOULD USA NOT RELEASE THIS INFO? It seems that in a crash like this where so many innocent lives were lost, it would be counter productive and to hide information like that from the NTSB.. The families deserve answers, and by our govt not releasing this info. , it makes it all the more apparent that it WAS NOT A CONTROLLED SUICIDE FLIGHT BY THE PILOT!! I know this should be in the air travel section... but I just cold not get an aswer... and I figured since it possibly involves coverups by the US army possibly accidently shooting it down, or conducting tests with UFO's... hahaha i know it was not a damned UFO... the point is that WE DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED... BC USA REFUSES TO RELEASE ALL INFO! if someone can tell me WHY USA DIDNT RELEASE INFO, they get automatic 10 points...

1. How the hell did you throw UFO’s into this? Leave it to paranoid conspiracy theorist throw an alien into the mix. This happened 10 years ago, why are you bringing it up now? I personally believe with the recordings and investigation done it was a system malfunction. And you are not positive that it was not a suicide, so do not be so absolute and ET didn't come take out the plane. Ok?
2. I wish you've mentioned UFO's at the start.. then i would've known you're nuts from the beginning and wouldn't have wasted a minute of my life.
3. After reading the report myself I found that the only group that disputes the suicide theory is the officials at EgyptAir who would be financially liable. You fail to mention that the cockpit voice recorder was also recovered from the accident. Reading the transcript strongly supports the theory that the plane was deliberately destroyed by the RFO. As far as your notions of the miltary accidently shooting the aircraft down, not only does the cockpit recording disprove this, but it would have been immediately evident upon recovery of the wreckage.
