There already has been a person chosen to reveal the alien presence to mankind. His name was Michel Desmarquet.

If we were to get real disclosure, a whole bunch of people are going to be admitting that they were wrong and/or have been lying about a whole bunch of stuff worldwide. The Church did not admit everything they believed about the sun and the earth was wrong when Galileo proposed the earth revolved around the sun. They threw him in jail for the rest of his life! (he was unable to leave his home)
Personally, I think a lot of people have known about ET existence for a long time and it's turned into one of those situations where the cover-up is worse than the crime. Proof of E.T. would most likely be trapped in the vaults of private, defense-related corporations, far, far away from the reaching hands of FOIA requests. It's doubtful if 'the govt' knows much, with a significant exception of certain senior members.
At the same time, people will be forced to accept the realization that we can't change what's already been done and once they get over the initial impact, I think the religious barriers that have separated us in the past will give way to a new feeling of unity and oneness as a species among species. You're more optimistic than most. Nothing in this world thus far, has united the globe in your vision unity and peace, including the creation, development, and use of Nuclear Weapons.
And then I could be totally wrong.

Who do you think would be the right person for Alien disclosure?
I was thinking the pope. How exactly would you explain to the public that ET exist and have contacted mankind? How do you keep people from freaking out? How do you think the general public would respond to disclosure? How would the explain the cover ups and the constant lying and deflection? 80 years of cover ups. Should some officials go to prison for knowingly lying/covering up about alien contact with mankind?
How would this change organized religion if at all?
Who do you think would be the right person for Alien disclosure?
Why would the revelation of Aliens inspire people to give up their sovereignty? We have enough government already we need LESS not more.

While easily confused by many, fear of someone or something is not the same thing as respecting it. While this is correct, the end result is the same. Whether it's in fear or respect, employees, for example, behave the same.
While fear is a very powerful tool for exercising control over others, peace & unity can only be achieved by treating each other with dignity & respect under the full application of the "Golden Rule" of treating others as you would have them treat you. Please provide examples of this in history. I can give countless examples of the opposite. Which government achieved rule through peace and unity, and not through fear, war, violence, spread of disease, etc
Knowing that truth for what it is and knowing that true unity & peace are not derivatives of fear, why would any prudent individual expect to achieve worldwide peace & unity via the development, use and/or possession of nuclear weapons? Why? Because we learned to split the atom and end the existence of all life on this planet! If that wasn't enough to reign in our predilection for war, I don't know what else will. Prime example of this is the change in attitude and thought of J. Robert Oppenheimer, "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds..."
Nuclear weapons only help to maintain an atmosphere of fear, which is actually quite the opposite of unity & peace. We agree on this point.
