What will be the first main stream organization to release proof of alien visitation or proof of intelligent life on another planet?
The main possibilities I can think of are......
1. US government
2. Russia
3. European countries
4. Some other major country
5. Vatican
6. Muslims
7. SETI
8. NASA
9. Civilian science community
10. The aliens land or send a " radio" signal revealing themselves.
Wish I could have made a poll for this.... Feel free to steal the idea mods.

In my view, discovery of extraterrestrial life, if it comes, is pretty unlikely to be a dramatic event in itself (even though the implications will of course be extremely important).
If we discover it in the solar system then it's likely to be a probe detecting single-celled organisms or other simple life forms, maybe on Europa (I'd love to see a probe dip into that ocean!)
If we discover it in a different star system it may be down to spectroscopic evidence which would be a good marker but not outright proof.
Or the more exciting possibility is a Contact-style radio signal being received.

The problem with a major nation like the US providing full disclosure on this would be the backlash and the uncovering of every single atrocity committed with the aim of keeping it secret. If the government has been keeping a secret like this, just imagine how many things have happened in the past that might have been attempts to keep it under wraps. Assassinations, wars, complete media spins, etc. They would first need to make sure that it would change the world so much that government wouldn't be necessary or that people wouldn't feel the need to riot or overthrow the governments.
If disclosure did come from government sources, I would imagine it coming from leaks. Most likely from a rival superpower or a rogue group.

It is not when disclosure will happen it is why it would happen. Can anybody give me a convincing argument for disclosure?
E.T. disclosure would facilitate a one world government on earth, which is a long term plan according to many conspiracy theories.

There have been many levels of disclosure for thousands of years..and still going on today, the problem is you will not wake the morons until a ship lands in full view for all to see while the cameras are rolling. Even then you will have those that say it is something else...sounds like a movie....

As far as Disclosure goes that term and its focus are now being used in a suppressionist manner to keep people thinking nothing has been found or has been made available to them,it is a Psy-Op.
You see the reality and truth is that Disclosure is only possible if there is a secret being kept,this is not about any secrets being kept because all of the data Humanity needs is out there and has been for 1000s of years recorded everywhere, this is about SUPPRESSION and MANIPULATION.
Simply using the word Disclosure now faccillitates the SUPPRESSORS by drawing attention away from them,by making everyone chase shadows and their own tails,while TPTB try to strain everything they can off of the internet to stay ahead of the curve of the general population.

The mathematics or the universe makes us being the only life incredibly improbubal. I mentioned nothing of ufo's or Roswell. Alien life is assumed by main stream science. Weathe microbial life or grey aliens.
