And not just recent. There was the 1988 TV show based on "War of the Worlds."

"According to the series, rather than being killed outright by germs at the end of the 1953 film, the aliens had all slipped into a state of suspended animation. Their bodies were stored away in toxic waste drums and shipped to various disposal sites within the United States (ten such sites are known to exist in the country), and a widespread government cover-up combined with a condition dubbed 'selective amnesia' has convinced most people that the invasion had never happened."
