Actually, what they have to lose is:

A) Military dominance and control of the Free World - You don't need a military
if everyone loves each other and refuse to kill ANYTHING. As you don't need
a military, military leaders lose control of power.

B) More important, the powers that be would loose crediblity - over dictating 
to the the masses what to believe in, and the nature of reality.
Because if you can believe in aliens, maybe you can believe in things other
than thier power structure.
