Let's look at what we believe to be true.
1. The modern UFO era began shortly after the first A-bomb was detonated.
2. Early UFO sightings were primarily near defense installations, with many concentrated near the US' atomic facilities.
3. Most crash stories take place early during the era, and near powerful radar arrays.
4. All at once, such crashes no longer occurred.
5. Sometime after this, abduction stories started to emerge.
6. Most believe the first official recovery of crashed craft to be Roswell.
7. Indeed, many protocals were then established, including the entire reorganizing of the DoD.
8. The aliens want their existence to be a secret (otherwise nothing could prevent them from disclosing themselves).
9. For whatever reason, we've not been invaded since this all began.
10. There is evidence we were visited (though perhaps not contacted) in the past.
In my mind, this all points to...
1. Their (the aliens) interests, whatever they are, are not to be benefactors of mankind (otherwise, they wouldn't abduct those against their will).
2. There is some incentive for the government to maintain the secret, whether it be a tech exchange, or just to not appear powerless in the eyes of the people, there is some kind of incentive.
3. There is some incentive for the aliens to maintain the secret as well...so we are provideing them with something, or they simply desire to remain anonymous.
4. There is obviously something keeping them from invasion (whether they simply don't desire it, or logistics, or we have counter tech...one has got to be the case here).

If you consider the entire universe in the grander scale of things,
then by comparison we may not be much more than a virus or cancer
invading a living cell.
Getting smaller, we may consider that the greatest threat presented to
an advanced civilization might just be the germs we carry that could prove fatal to them
or theirs to us.

There is a reason why some may not want to attack, the more peacefull one's may engage them/step in their way if some of them did attack.
