how convenient. That still doesn't explain a government's inability to keep secrets. This would not only be a multi-government conspiracy, it would also have to be multi-generational, making it even less likely. The knowledge that we are not alone in the universe is what humankind has strived to acquire throughout our evolution. What makes you think finally having this knowledge would lead to our destruction? It's just as likely if not more that such knowledge would bring us closer together.
