Has the Government ever exposed the existence of extraterrestrials just to see how society would react?

Someone told me awhile back that the United States of Americas Government told society and its people that the planet earth is being visited by extraterrestrials but only as a test to see how people would react?

I heard that we, the people, failed their test which is why, if there really is extraterrestrials visiting this planet, they would not truly disclose that information if they had information to give.

I'm asking this question because I can not find anything regarding this test on the Interweb.

Update:

"Someone" told me he read it in a book but I hardly see the guy and I forget what book he was reading.

    Hello,

    Check out Orsen Welle's " War of the Worlds " radio broadcast in the 1930's. A lot of the population, especially the rural thought this HG Wells story was real and see how they reacted. That might give you some idea:

  • If so, it was Roswell. Although it wasn't the government as a whole, it was an agent of the CIA or some other high ranking agency who said it to a news reporter, then the story was ran on newspaper headlines.

    The Orson Welles War Of The Worlds radio broadcast caused panic.

    Perhaps they learned from it.

    I don't know about the USA, but if the British Government did this, the ets would be safe, as we

    tend to think politicians are liars, anyway.

    See "The 4th Kind" showing how demons can create things also . Only by making a sincere covenant with the Father that you will always obey all of Jesus' sayings will you receive God's protection from such strong evil beings .

  • Conspiracy theories do not amount to evidence of anything, let alone the existence of aliens.

    I would ask 'someone' for some type of verification.
