Operation Paperclip had no "cover." It was the program to appropriate the aeronautical technology (including rocketry) developed by the Third Reich, and to employ its practitioners. Nothing to do with UFOs or aliens.
I think you're missing my point a bit. They couldn't let the American people know they shipped a bunch of Nazis' over here to our homeland to test their tech. "Aliens" and "UFO activity" was used as a cover for the tech they were testing out in the deserts.
That's just nonsense. There was no particular secret about the presence of the Germans. After a temporary posting at El Paso, Texas, they settled into Huntsville, Alabama, and joined the community. White Sands was a missile test range, and all they were doing was launching captured V-2s and derivative vehicles. By 1952, they were developing the Redstone intermediate-range ballistic missile. I'm familiar with this history, read about it as a boy, and recall nothing whatsoever about a "cover" involving UFOs and Aliens.
You're over the target.
Area 51 "UFO sightings" and "Aliens" were a cover for Operation Paperclip.

Well, OP was a classified program, so there was some level of secrecy involved.
The theory I’m offering isn’t void of sauce.
