I wonder, why, if anything, out government would keep aliens secret from us? My first thought would be that we could not handle the fact that we as humans are not the center of the universe as we thought and a more intelligent life form exists which could easily wipe us out.

My second though is that this world is constructed heavily off of religious boundaries and structures. Think about it, only a handful of religions talk about other types of life forms outside of the human realm (excluding angels). I think many would be reluctant to throw away their religious beliefs and aliens would force us to deeply question religious doctrine.

I think I would be happy enough to see a UFO, to see a real alien? I would loose my s**t. To have a galactic federation similar to star wars would be amazing but it would not happen for centuries I think. We as a species barely get along with one another and are always blowing one another up. Can't imagine how we would get along with a totally different life form.
