Alien contact would mean the end of the current world's power structure.
It's about power and control.
They probably use rationalizations like humanity isn't ready for it.
It would turn the world into chaos. (but in a good way imo)
We can't let this technology get into our enemies' hands.
Simply put it's the next big paradigm shift. First we developed writing systems and agriculture. Eventually big cities and religion came along. In the last few hundred years, it's been the scientific method and the industrial revolution.
We all know disclosure has to happen eventually, but it could still be many decades off. Worse case scenario maybe a century away.
After the fixed energy sources are finally depleted ?
Perhaps they fear humanity will change too much and so rapidly that our unique identities and humanity will fade away ? Like how the Indian's culture and way of life was wiped out after the European settlers came. The world is very fractured along political, religious, and economic lines. Get our house in order and preserve some dignity before the higher beings "save us from ourselves" ?
At any rate, this will change humanity (hopefully for the better) more than anything in the past.

It doesn't matter if he does or not.
He could publicly state on national TV that aliens have been here for decades and the U.S. and other world governments have been denying it. And you and millions of others would not believe him, instead believing that the disclosure is just another coverup for something even more sinister.
True conspiracy theorists do not want the truth to be known. It would destroy the illusion.

I want disclosure it has to happen and who best but the president of the USA to get on TV and tell the public face to face... Reagan suggested such a thing and all ufologists have quoted him since. Any real disclosure to make a big difference has to come from that level or else most citizens will try to debunk that.
Many have suggested that JFK wanted disclosure and that may have been one of several reasons why the big boys did him in to keep him quiet.
