UK’s top UFO expert shares one major fallout from finding aliens (metro.co.uk)

The discovery of alien life could turbocharge religious division and hatred, the UK’s leading UFO expert has warned.

I think this idea is pretty legitimate. People in first world societies, with generally decent minimal education, will mostly be ok, maybe. We forget that a majority of the 8 billion people on the planet live in 3rd world conditions, significantly less or no education, and lots of severe religious indoctrination. There are still countries that execute people for apostasy.

We're not certain it would be all bad, but it's not a topic to dismiss. The possibility of societal disruption due to real disclosure resulting in any disruption to say, the economy, for whatever reasons, could be a reason the powers that be don't want to disclose. Maybe the risk is too great in their view. Just speculating obviously.

Everything always seems to circle back to the idea that keeping people in ignorance is better because they're too uneducated or stupid to understand. I just don't buy it.
