What were some of the first Government UFO cover-ups in history?

I would just like to know the earliest known cover-up theories by a world government in history for a speech I have to give. I don't care if you believe in them or not, I just want the earliest THEORIES of a government cover-up of alien life or UFOs and which country was it.

1947. The Roswell incident USA.
