I take it none of you have heard the one where WWII was the secret war to steal tech from the Germans, because they're testing was far more advanced ? It was said that all the espionage was due to the simple fact that they wanted it to be as "hush hush" as possible. Also the atrocities haveing been linked to human exsperaments were heavily involved with genetics and altering of genetics...(sound familiar?!)

But peace leads to the technological advancements slowing down. Just look at the technological breakthroughs made in WW2.

What about the story of the allied forces being sent to the south pole (shortly after WW2) to investigate possible german militairy installations there... and stumbling onto heavy resistance.

This might sound strange but what if this contact simply says "Dont go near earth until we can easily travel throught space(or something like that)." Maybe the alien ships we see are beings who break this rule to simple get a "sneak Peak" on us humans. Kinda like how someone might trespass into a zoo after closing hours to look at the animals.
It would explain why these visitations are so infrequent and sparce. The sightings things would be WAY more common if there was no such law.

If we accept the possibility of intelligent life forms out there in the Universe, and some of them have already made contact with each other, it's not that far fetched to think they have established some laws or rules on what is allowed or wise to do, as in terms of contacting a young civilization like ours.
Unless we take for granted that all of them (and again I remind you, this is assuming they exist) have only good intentions and are unable to make mistakes that would disrupt other civilization's eco/financial/social systems, I would think having such laws/rules would make sense.
