Like imagine, one day… you turn on the news and see… “Breaking News: In a joint statement, the United Nations Security Council revealed that there has been an effort to conceal the existence of extraterrestial life that have arrived on our planet more than 50 years ago…”. Its the trending top google search result, everyone on the internet is talking about it. How would you react. What would be the reactions of your relatives, friends, neighbors, and everyone else, and what would the front page of Reddit and Lemmy look like?

“Well no shit…”
You think I got time to think about goddamn aliens? I got bills to pay.
The idea that two people could keep a secret for 50 years is far fetched, the concept that governments across the globe could is absurd.
Maybe the “UFO Leaks” that got dismissed as conspiracy theorists were telling the truth after all? 🤔

This kinda sounds like you’ve decided on the conclusion you want, hidden aliens and are working backwards to prove it instead of following facts.
But sure, why not? Keep the faith.
Well this is a hypothetical. I’m not actually saying the government is hiding aliens.
What if they had help from the aliens, though? 🤔
I would want to know why they felt the need to conceal it from the general population.
I would just find their presence ontologically interesting. Nothing else I can do because I can’t trust any government
Woah. Cool
I would react with extreme skepticism
if the government says it then it must be true
I would demand proof
I would know immediately that it is a scam, and it is originated by Usa.
Nobody else in the world has so much hybris to assume that all governments in the world would work together, or even say the same.
Lol.
Go buy your new space snake oil technology and comply, citizen, do not resist.
I would ask if we could put them in charge now
Sure, just gotta let them do some probing… ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Wouldn’t care, everyone would be over it in a week. And before then, the social media would blow up trying to get in on the monetization of it. Then life will resume. It will probably be a Tuesday. It’s always a Tuesday
I would tell my husband he was right, and would be very surprised.
But it would have to be the actual aliens making the announcement for me to believe it.
I simply wouldn’t believe it.
There’s no way so many people could keep something that big quiet for so long.
It would be more than just the leaders, there would be thousands of people involved over the course of decades. Someone would have spilled the beans at some point by now.
