From After Disclosure

“Another form of False Disclosure would be to admit that whatever the sighting event was, it was certainly unusual, and that the government is just as curious as its citizens. In this scenario, a president or other foreign leader would try to put him- or herself and the country on the side of the people, and would probably create a commission to deliver a report on UFOs within a certain period of time. This is stonewalling of the highest order, of course.”

Richard Dolan states multiple options for the start of disclosure, and this one sounds extremely similar to what’s going on today.
