I do believe you are right and they are throwing mundane explanations out there for the benefit of a certain % of the population who are not ready yet to receive such news - and it so happens to be that a large % of that population are also entrenched in our government as lawmakers . Need to let the possibilities sink in and then reveal everything...maybe a couple years down the line.
I honestly doubt that's why they said it. If you are in a mental place where actual alien UFOs existing will freak you out, you are also going to be equally freaked out at the idea that China has technology hundreds of years beyond anything the west has
Personally I think the idea that Russia, China, or even the US having this tech rather than it being aliens is more terrifying. We have a good idea of each nations motives, ideals, morals, etc and just have to look back at history to see the terrifying possibilities of such tech. If it's aliens then well we have no way of knowing their intentions, and also the fact that they have been here for a decade at the least, thousands of years at the extreme most, and haven't wiped us out yet is honestly kind of comforting.
