I would say if the "scientists" even disclosed the idea of UFOs, then they have to bring down every popular theory they hold dear. But I know one thing, they would renounce their own flesh and blood before even renouncing their precious theories.
So whoever is trying to get information about UFO via Government, forget it, they are not even going to do such a thing.

So all it would take is a "correctly" worded petition - to elicit what ?
Not trying to be funny, interested in your response, after all there appears to be enough intellect visiting this site to be able to "correctly" word something and I'm sure ATS wouldn't mind hosting a petition. I assume then it is just a matter of some funding and due process but what's the absolute reasonable best case scenario outcome ?
Why would aliens bother to make deals with any government? If they're so advanced that they managed to get here in the first place, they could do whatever they please without consequence... they certainly wouldn't be in any danger of being shot down by our weapons, and I doubt they'd manage to crash on their own.
Our technology has zoomed since 1947 at a alarming and possibly unnatural rate.
My guess, gut feeling, and a possible (notice I didn't say absolute, just a guess) is that the strongest military government at the time (America) possibly met with, captured, came into contact with some ET and made a deal - selling us out (us being the common man/woman that has no inkling as to the real goings on).

Greetings Forumerions,
Stan Friedman fires back at the White House's official response to the ET Petition:
I would love to have been a fly on the wall when personnel of the Office of Science and Technology Policy of the Executive Office of the President at the New Executive Office Building in Washington , D.C., discussed how to respond to a petition about disclosing data on UFOs. I suspect that nobody brought up the enormous amount of information available indicating that not only are aliens visiting, but the US and other government have been withholding information for many decades. The response certainly indicates intentional lying and misrepresentation or total ignorance. . . .
. . . No credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public? Is he really unaware of the many TOP SECRET UMBRA CIA UFO documents that have been released so heavily redacted that many pages say “Deny in Toto” or that many others are blacked out except for fewer than 8 words. . . .
The rest of the story . . .
Cheers,

G'day Frank,
Even if sidestepping the national security threat issue there is still the "protection of identity and privacy" hurdle followed by the "denial of existence" wall.
I'm aware of the many previous attempts at obtaining an official response through official channels and feel that route is blocked and that ultimately, whatever facts do exist, they will be held in an informal system anyway. Whilst FOI requests provide tantalising snippets it is only through a significant whistleblower there will actually be any real info, and they have a habit of falling out of hospital windows but we live in hope.
Regards

The Petition to the White House was worded wrong.
There are no Alien UFO's flying to Earth. Those UFO's are ours.
There are aliens coming and leaving...they are energy beings/ inter-dimensional/..."demons".....
They should have worded the Petition to the White House to ask if there were Energy beings coming and leaving Earth. UN Cosmic Security Clearance Required.....

In a way, Steven Hawkins is right. If ET is out there, until we are sure we can protect ourselves, maybe we don't bother looking, in case they are violent.
Isn't this the same as an ostrich hiding its head in the sand? If I dont look maybe this threat will go away?
Even within our own civilizations as we have become more technologically advance we have become more tolerant and less violent. I know we have weapons now that can destroy the planet and we still have wars but on a personal level we are less violent now. I would think that this process would continue.
The more advanced a civilization is the more peaceful it will be. Violence is a sign of ignorance and lack of social skills. I would think you'd need to have these things under control before you go exploring the universe.
