If the world's governments are hiding contact with nonhuman intelligences (a very big if), then a cui bono approach suggests that they have little reason ever to divulge this information voluntarily. Any benefits that might move in an earthward direction right now fall into the laps of maybe a few thousand people worldwide.
It is true that cartel members often compete with one another both covertly and openly, but bringing another 6 billion people into the arrangement seems likely to reduce the size of one's own slice.
