That is based on the assumption that any alien lifeforms have the same level, or lower level of technology than we do. Neither of which is a given.
One thing I find surprising is anyone thought that the American Government would say any different. They've been denying that aliens have visited us for years. Any admission that they had would be an admission they had lied to the voters for decades. Something which no government would survive.
