'Funny' thing is - I mooted a similar scenario in relation to extra-terrestrials existence a while back. All of our modern external observational capacity is digitally-based. A sufficiently-compelled external entity far beyond our reasoning could quite easily subvert these systems to deny us observation of their existence, and a 'true' view of the universe, transplanting a more benign and innocent one.
I mooted the idea of an order of entirely analogue 'monks' to counter this, who check and verify externalities without the use of computers to try and ascertain 'truth', without the use of anything more complicated than glass telescopes and something like a 16-bit computer.
Just, now - it's not ET, but our own AI that we need to guard against.
