In this case "they" are scientists. The scientific community is unique in that it is probably the most chatty group on earth. There is absolutely no way to stifle them. It's like herding cats. Even China would be unable to silence a discovery of this magnitude. It would be the most profound discovery in history.

I am currently reading a sci fi book called the hercules text by Jack McDevitt and scientists monitoring a pulsar 2 million light years away notice that the spinning star stopped for a few days and then restarted. It was obvious that advanced aliens had manipulated the star announcing their presence. NASA had decided not to announce the discovery right away and 3 months later when they did the fallout of keeping it secret was severe. The scientific community would have leaked this info rather quickly if it happened irl. I imagine the president would hold a press conference should we find et life just like it happened in my book.
