Here's a pertinent quote from Carl Jung:

"If...the extraterrestrial origin of the phenomena (i.e. UFOs) should
be confirmed...it would be chiefly our science and our technology which
would have to be consigned to the scrap-heap. What such a catastrophe would mean on the moral plane we can in some sort judge by the ruin of primitive cultures of which we are the witnesses. *THAT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THESE MACHINES PROVES A SCIENTIFIC TECHNOLOGY, AND ONE IMMENSELY SUPERIOR TO OURS, ADMIST OF NO TWO OPINIONS.* Just as Pax Britannica put an end to the disputes between the tribes of Africa, so our world could unroll its Iron Curtain and use it as scrap iron, with all the millions of tons of guns, warships and munitions. But we would have been *discovered* and colonised -- sufficient reason for universal panic!
If we wish to avoid such a catastrophe, the authorities in possession
of important information should not hesitate to enlighten the public as soon and as completely as possible and should, above all, stop these ridiculous antics of mysteries and vauge allusions. (Original emphasis)

Can you provide a reference to where this quote came from?

Its been a long time since I read it, but its almost certainly from
Jung's UFO book:
