Denial makes sense when the only "proof" is uncorroborated stories, evidence that "vanished" or was "confiscated", and the like. Seriously, if there was really anything and it was happening in a fraction of the amount conspiracy theorists suggest we'd have far, far more evidence than we do... and I am sure that on this matter the government knows no more than us. Other things, weapon systems, things they are testing they don't want people knowing about, sure... but aliens? No.
