Reminds me of this type of story...

An alien ship lands in Smalltown USA. Everyone in the town saw it, and many tell of the alien creatures and ship that they saw removed by the government.

Rather than dispute this straight on, the government blurs the story by adding absurd information to the mix.

Pretty soon a known drunk is talking about how the little green guys did a dance for the townies, complete with music and lights. Another "witness" reports having been anally probed by the aliens, and so on.

In the end the story becomes so far fetched that is is no longer credible.

Even if it was originally true....
