This is just a take on the question at hand. One scenario that I saw playing out as a possibility. Do not take anything in that to heart as it wasn't meant to be taken to heart. It was meant to reflect on as a possibility. Apologies to anyone who was/is insulted/scared. Truly.

If TPTB ever came right out and said aliens exist or are here and visiting, some people would be okay with it and some... not so much.
I come from a fundamentalist Christian family/area and I can guarantee they would do anything to cling to their belief system. The aliens would be declared demons, fallen angels, tricksters, whatever. And they would consider it their duty to fight them in "God's" name.
And then others would just consider them beings from somewhere else that are not to be trusted. I mean, we have Mexican people coming to this country and then working their tails off when they get here, and Americans STILL don't trust them.
I think many world governments realize this and it would stir up all manner of nonsense were the truth to come out.
I think as a race we're still in our infancy. Sadly.

Don't we have those entities walking among us everyday?
I stopped watching TV because I was tired of inviting them into my home every night.
I know. I know. I see them lurking about the Internet too but tier pricing will solve that problem for me soon enough.

I think this may be up there in the top ranking.
The Earth is hollow.
Our ancestors were outcasts sent to the surface to toil and die forever separated from the Eden and eternal life.
Our numbers have increased to the degree that we have become like MRSA. Symbiotic organisms that has become hostile to the host and most be eradicated.

I think that the urge to "know the absolute truth" about the "alien phenomena" ...
is as irresistible as wanting to see that movie based on your favorite topic or characters... or skipping to the end of a book .. or in general... wanting what you "cant have" ...
it's definitely one of the most interesting and fascinating concepts in the world...
I believe they are waiting for us to reach the singularity or to come together as one before they bring us into the universal club.

A Devastating Life Altering Secret That Would Stop Disclosure? Well i think top of the tree has to be the reglious angle. What if Ailens told the US Government back in 1947 (Roswell) that life after death does not exist? that we only have this life and then it's blackout forever, no afterlife, no nothing? That would cause huge distress to the world , not only for everyone living but we would be in tears for all our loved ones who have died. We would never be reunited with them. That would be pretty horrendous. I happen to believe that we do live on after we die, what, how, why, is anyone's guess. but my faith could be completely based on false hope!!.
