Personally, I think that if a citizen were to show up at Rockefeller Plaza arm in arm with an alien for a press conference, reporters would be warned off by both their producers and federal agents, the alien sequestered, it's existence denied, and my bones, after a hellish interrogation, would be fish food in the Hudson.

It's that level of paranoia/tinfoil hat/conspiracy thinking that wrecks your credibility. Let's take your example:

You show up in Rockefeller Plaza, in clear few of hundreds if not thousands of people. Some undoubtedly with video cams or at least cameras. You're carrying an alien under each arm. The word would spread like absolute wildfire. There would be hundreds of photos taken in minutes, some reporter would be there, cops, etc. Probably live TV from a mobile unit. And all that before the MIB could possibly arrive. Probably some freelance reporters too. And yet you think it could be hushed up if you were grabbed and never seen again? Wow. If you're willing to believe that, you'd pretty much believe anything.

Did you see that prop guy walking down 5th Avenue with the two rubber aliens? They must be filming in the city. *yawn*
