My personal belief is that there won't be any disclosure coming from our governments, because they would have to admit that they were the reason for the cover up in the first place.

Actually I can see an end run around that dilemma.. It would require an administration that is relatively new (few months into office) and a Cabinet head with no links to the military / industrial / political insider.
Release the info with the explanation the moment they found out the info they immediately released it while laying all the blame on previous administrations.

If the governments really know about an alien presence and want to disclose this, they will not do so until their one world gov is in place. The aliens are not gonna want to deal with many different countries and the petty wars that go along with them.
Once we can live in peace or at least not in a constant state of war then comes the one world gov. Whether it's gonna be a hellish dictatorship or as free people with rights is up to us and future generations.

Let's say that a few months from now the major governments of the world convene at the United Nations and declare that their is an alien presence in our skies, space and so on and people have been affected. They say they pose no known threat but at this time leave out lots of details about possible cooperation and collusion between various governments and ET species, hybrids, back-engineering....etc.
What does this mean for the militaries and defense industries that there are beings out there more powerful than them? Suppose more details are reveled slowly in the coming months and years that detail things like reverse-engineering of alien technology and secret treaties and agreements between man and ET.
Will some alien species be skewed by the governments as "evil" or malign and others as positive and good? Will a world government be required for entry into the galactic arena? Will the militaries be obsolete overnight or will a planetary defense force of some kind combining all the nations armed forces arise?
Will the ETs even allow armed forces on and off world? How will defense companies react now that they know there's a bigger ball park out there? You can't just fire or lay off tens of millions of members of the armed forces or immediately repurpose defense industries to peaceful areas? What will happen to the militaries and defense companies?

99% of the worlds population either believe or want to believe what their government says. Why? So they can continue doing the same old thing which effects or secures their immediate circle. So whatever has gone on before disclosure, means diddly swot, once the spin doctors get going. :IoI:
Think about every possible means of media you currently use now and how it can be controlled, How are you going to tell what is real or not, unless some alien come through your front door and gives you his key to his mkIIV space ship or sticks a prob up somewhere the sun does not shine.
As for the millions of military contractors they will be all thrown on the unemployment heap like everyone else and simply told SORRY..
IMHO
