It will get on the news here at whatever time the government deems it opportune. That could be when they decide we need a phony threat from outside this planet to get us to let them tighten the screws down a bit more...rather than the homegrown types of phony threats we've grown so accustomed to lately, like Noriega, Nicaragua, Castro, North Korea, Venezuela, Saddam's nonexistent WMDs, Al-Queda, Iran...

Yup, I figure there'll come a day when the homegrown threats just aren't good enough to do the trick. Then they will pull out the alien files, finally reveal them to a stunned public and say..."They pose a threat to our entire way of life! We must militarize space at once to save the planet! We must microchip every citizen so that the aliens can't kidnap anyone without us knowing when and where it's happening."

I bet it'll work great too. Even better than Osama Bin Oswald did.
