I was thinking for reasons why they would want to hide it and I can think of afew big issues it would have on us as a society if alien life was found.
I first though of the economy. If the ETs were more intelligent and we learned to harness free energy think of all the huge companies that would go out of buisness. However this could be looked at as a plus because it would screw global warming up.
Next I thought of religion. If we did manage to make contact with aliens and we eventually learned to speak with them what about our religions against theirs. I highly doubt it would go something like a guy called Jesus came to earth and healed a blind man of his blindness or any other religions either. If the theory of religion was proved wrong ALOT of people would neck themselves because they think that they are living for god so in their state of mind theres no god theres no them. I know you would also get the group of people that would say religion is still real but for religion to be proved wrong there would have to be an extreamly strong case. One that would take a very long time to just build a shitty case against.
Theres also a case against aliens. Like why are all sightings around the america/mexico area ?
