This the openiong statement of theis episode and the basis behind many conspiracy theories about 'aliens' but in reality this is just not true. Its a premise presented by people who want to feed you lies about alien visitation.
Many studies and polls have been done over the years about this subject and for the most part they all say that sociaty would be fine. One 3rd of the population belive in visiting aliens anyway and a larger percentage belive theres life out there somewhere in the universe. NASA and other agencies spend billions to look for life, every thime they even find the smallest hint of a possibility of life its all over the front pages of the news papers and makes headlines on the news.
So there would be no collapse and thus no need for a conpiracy of silence. So when yuou hear someone say "if we were to know the truth society as we know it would collapse" they are either naive or about to spin you a whole bunch of BS about cover ups and MIB type scenarios.

I'm not really sure the society wouldn't collapse!
But if they would just make a breaking story of some alien ships approaching the Earth.... well... I see chaos

There might be worry ,but a breakdown of society? Chaos? Would you want to riot and destroy society? Sure if it was presented as a threat but as the polls have shown most people would not go crazy.
Its just a flase premise used to make people believe in a secret coverup.
