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.

Yeah, I did some dabbling in the Army..lol I had a Top Secret clearance, but I think only because of the radio encryption equipment and IFF's we used, run of the mill stuff, but the Navy Aviators see UFOs all the time.
Im religious yet I do believe there are other life forms in the Universe. Theres a fine line between religion and science, but that doesnt mean a scientist cant be a Christian (or whatever religion) or vice versa.
Think about it, in our galaxy there are hundreds of billions of stars (avg galaxy), there are 10 billion galaxies in the universe. Assuming an average of 1 or two planets each star, thats billions of trillions of planets. I cant even fathom what that number looks like. Im sure there are some life forms other than those on earth.. absolutely fascinating!
