That would be one thing, if Star Trek would just go out of their way to admit that ALIENS ARE NOT HUMANS WITH FUNNY SKINS.
Jesus christ, if there is any kind of "alien coverup", it's because the government would know damn well that even the most dedicated ufo cultists and sci-fi gamers would lose their fucking nuts if "muh aliens" turned out to look more bestial than humany.

There are no aliens. The Earth is not an interplanetary pit stop for extraterrestrial voyeurs or conquerors, and they probably don't even exist.
The only technologically advanced life, in the galaxy, at this time... very probably.
Oh, I'm sure there are plenty of planets that host complex multi-cell organisms, and potentially millions that host micro organisms.
But Earth had complex life for well over a billion years without fostering an intellect arms race.
