Well I for one think it would usher in a new era of human civilization. The conformation that we are not alone in the universe would have profound effects on the advancment of the scientific knowledge of our species and which directions research takes afterwards.
It would be philosophically and theologically revolutionary and again open up avenues which have not yet been explored (imagine studying an E.T. religion for example, fascinating!).
I think that the discovery/disclosure of that information would drastically alter society, the progress of our civilization and it's cultures and to think that it wouldn't, in my opinion, is a little naive.

Given how so many of us believe there has been a cover-up over aliens by TPTB from the beginnings of civilization through to the current day could we believe TPTB if they finally admitted the presence of aliens? Whether a remote signal from the darkest depths of the universe, or the presence of cattle mutilating abducting aliens they can do nothing about, or shape-shifting lizards, or any other form of alien life anyone may believe in, could we trust TPTB to be genuine in the disclosure OR would this be another smoke and mirrors exercise to distract us from genuine events happening in the real world, such as shifting magnetic poles, floods, earthquakes, disease, collapse of financial markets, depopulation strategies via forced medication programmes and so on?
We've seen with so many other events how TPTB manipulate the MSM to create fear, panic, and confusion to their own ends, the recent swine flu crime perpetrated on us, a scam to take several more billion dollars out of circulation into the greedy pockets of a handful of billionaires should convince most people of how we are so easily manipulated.
For most of us the biggest changes would the introduction of Alien Defense Taxes to combat the non-existent threats, and more MSM media stories convincing us to stay in our homes and to be afraid to complain about anything, and become more and more paranoid about our neighbours, friends, and families!
Sadly I don't think I would be convinced by the MSM announcing the existence of aliens, I wouldn't trust my own government to tell me my weight using my own scales so that's any announcement from the UK out of the question, if the President of the USA stood up and announced it was happening I'd just suspect it was all CGI'd together, if the Chinese announced the fact I'd be looking for bubbles on the screen, to be honest I think the only people I would trust would be a remote community in a third world county having shot a couple of aliens and taken control of their spacecraft and then were open to the highest bidders to buy the weapons and craft from the highest bidder, although in those circumstances I expect special forces would just take what they wanted and we'd never hear a thing about it.
Maybe disclosure wouldn't be in our interests, not because I deny the existence of aliens, I've believed since I was about 6, but more due to the increase in tax, fear, and increasing uncertainty in an already screwed over world.

Here's the difference, as far as I can tell, from the disclosure threads that always seem to appear... and this one.
The OP lists not one, but several sources to back what he's saying. I bet if you go back to the other "disclosure" threads, you won't find that many sources.

Are you claiming you are convinced that President Obama will start "disclosure" at the State of the Union? How convinced are you?
