It's not up to the government to disclose anything. They don't have a say in it.
As if politicians can be trusted with sensitive knowledge!

Actually, I think it's not about power. One of the toughest moments for a parent is when you have to admit to your child that Santa, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy are all lies. If the government comes clean, it has to admit that it has been lying to us for decades.

If the government were to disclose this information, then they would be held accountable for that information. People are impatient and would demand answers that the government may not have.

I don't know, maybe something like
what are their intentions, are they hostile, are we safe, how long have you known, what are you going to do about it, have they tried to communicate, how do you know they won't hurt us, how do you know they are just watching us, why are they watching us?
That's just a few off the top of my head.
