Frank Edwards, a popular writer and broadcaster of the 40s and 50s who often discussed UFOs, claimed in a 1956 lecture that Einstein and other important scientists warned President Truman that it would be a mistake to attack UFOs if they were indeed from a more advanced civilization.
The relevant excerpt from Frank Edwards' lecture can be heard here.
The warning was allegedly communicated in 1952 in response to the publicized intent of the Air Force 'to maintain a nationwide 24-hour “alert” against “flying saucers” and to shoot them down if possible.’ (Far right hand column.)
