I wouldn't have put it that way, since the real problem is that exact opposite--no one is in control of "them"--and for that reason it cannot be admitted.
For that reason, there is nothing to admit.
1. if there are aliens, then they have chosen to be revealed or not revealed and not a darn thing the gov can do about it.
2. if there are aliens, then everyone else is just pissy and whiny cuz THEY arent one of the aliens chosen to be in the know how of it all.
3. if there are aliens.. THEY are in control and not a darn thing anyone can do about it until they choose to reveal themselves
and truth be told, why would then want everyone to know anything? I mean if *I* were visiting us from another place.. i would have to much fun playing mind games with everyone... and watching the paranoia run havak.. and laughing my butt off.. plus.. truth be told, as a group.. we arent very good beings. why would i want to be a part of us?
IF there are aliens, they hopefully have the sense to know we are in our infancy and need to be left to our own devises to fail or succeed on moving forward into life.
as individuals and groups of two or even three.. we can be pretty decent.. but get us in larger groups and paranoia going.. we are mean.. just plain mean.. and we whine when we arent up front of it all..
personally though, i doubt we are being visited. but if we are, then turning to our government is the stupidest thing you can do. they would not have much power against someone with knowledge to traverse the galaxies.. and they are most likely more blind then a newborn kitten to anything going on around them.
