Spoiler:
In all honesty, I think that it 1) Should have been two parts to stretch things out and 2) that it should have ended with the official announcement.
It should have gone public on the grounds that A) You can't possibly expect that people on Earth didn't see it via assorted telescopes and B) Unless you turn on the cloak, it can't possibly be hidden. A Naval quarantine doesn't do anything. If the characters can see the Golden Gate bridge then if you're standing on the bridge you'd be able to see it.
