Ass thoughts are my favorite thoughts~
I guess it would depend on the person. I'd imagine a lot of evangelicals and other hard Bible followers would deny it, since Earth is the premier creation doncha know. Personally I'd just be skeptical as hell, but I'd think it was pretty cool. I don't see any reason they'd want to cover it up besides the whole "it will send people into a frenzy" thing...but we have so much shit already going with the Earth (climate change, genocide, disease epidemics, economic peril, etc) that I don't think saying "oh hey here are some lifeforms from another planet" would be that crazy of a thing.
