Awhile back, the Obama administration began a program called We The People where the American public could petition the government for information electronically given enough signatures. Well, the UFO fans out there petitioned_ to find out if there were in fact known aliens or a historical cover-up. The petition gained the requisite number of signatures and received an official response:

The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race. In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public’s eye. However, that doesn’t mean the subject of life outside our planet isn’t being discussed or explored.

Clearly, the White House Office of Science & Technology has not been read into the UFO spacecraft research program out at White Sands or the diabolical alien armada approaching us from behind Sirius that hell bent on enslavement of the human race.
