Fiction
Probably written during the Cold War.
Main character is an amnesiac(?) Earth general who spends his time figuring out where a nearby radio contest is going to leave a statue of a 'little green man' but this turns out to be a cover to prevent stressful damage on the general who is, in fact, trying to detect where the next alien attack will come from.

Thank you so much in advance, I've been googling for hours

It sounds like Time Out of Joint.
