Like imagine, one day… you turn on the news and see… “Breaking News: In a joint statement, the United Nations Security Council revealed that there has been an effort to conceal the existence of extraterrestial life that have arrived on our planet more than 50 years ago…”. Its the trending top google search result, everyone on the internet is talking about it. How would you react. What would be the reactions of your relatives, friends, neighbors, and everyone else, and what would the front page of Reddit and Lemmy look like?
I simply wouldn’t believe it.
There’s no way so many people could keep something that big quiet for so long.
It would be more than just the leaders, there would be thousands of people involved over the course of decades. Someone would have spilled the beans at some point by now.Some of them have, they’re just labeled crackpots
Wouldn’t care, everyone would be over it in a week. And before then, the social media would blow up trying to get in on the monetization of it. Then life will resume. It will probably be a Tuesday. It’s always a Tuesday
Good a time as any to go to the pub
Can they fix some of my medical problems (cyborg stuff, if possible?), and/or get me out of here? If not, this video: THOSE DAMN ALIEN BASTARDS ARE REAL. (Gianni Matragrano as Duke Nukem)
Well, it depends on what happens afterwards. If the UN just says that they know about it but don’t show anything, I’d be excited but if nothing happens then I’d just continue what I’m doing. I’d certainly keep a closer eye on things and try to find out as much as I can. But, what I’d wonder about is the implications. If the government said “yeah, aliens have been here this whole time.” Then what would that mean for the world? If aliens are here then certainly they could’ve been exchanging ideas and technology since they mostly came from somewhere far away. And, if it turns out these ideas and technology that could potentially fix a lot of problems we have on earth, like replicators from star trek, or the cure for every disease, or emission less transportation, and they knowingly withheld this in order to ‘keep the secret’ there will be hangings and assassinations. I’d be excited but cautious.
I would tell my husband he was right, and would be very surprised.
But it would have to be the actual aliens making the announcement for me to believe it.

The idea that two people could keep a secret for 50 years is far fetched, the concept that governments across the globe could is absurd.
What if they had help from the aliens, though? 🤔
Maybe the “UFO Leaks” that got dismissed as conspiracy theorists were telling the truth after all? 🤔

This kinda sounds like you’ve decided on the conclusion you want, hidden aliens and are working backwards to prove it instead of following facts.
But sure, why not? Keep the faith.
Well this is a hypothetical. I’m not actually saying the government is hiding aliens.
I would react with extreme skepticism
if the government says it then it must be true
I would know immediately that it is a scam, and it is originated by Usa.
Nobody else in the world has so much hybris to assume that all governments in the world would work together, or even say the same.
Lol.
Go buy your new space snake oil technology and comply, citizen, do not resist.
I would want to know why they felt the need to conceal it from the general population.
“A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.”
I would ask if we could put them in charge now
Sure, just gotta let them do some probing… ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
You think I got time to think about goddamn aliens? I got bills to pay.
I would just find their presence ontologically interesting. Nothing else I can do because I can’t trust any government
I mean, they’d get like one or two afternoons of googling around and watching youtube videos about the aliens biology, but I think I’d lose interest pretty fast
“Well no shit…”
