Well every time they attempted to make contact they either got chased by airplanes, shot at by the whole anti-air battery or people just freaked and ran away.

If it is intelligent "not to go where one was not wanted" then why come to Earth at all? Certainly, with what must be a civilization that has mastered technologies and overcome societal problems "back at home", it would be sort of silly to travel all that way without a concrete plan on meeting and greeting new civilizations on other worlds unless, of course, we are the only other race of beings around.

If the aliens are friendly, well they shouldn't be sneaking around. They should just land in front of the White House and say "howdy"! And, if the aliens have an evil intent for the conquest of Earth, why keep it a secret. Surely an alien race that has mastered space travel and, probably, faster-than-light travel could just cow us into surrendering
My own feeling is that they simply see us as inferior, slightly more than animals
we would study the hell out of them, as covertly as possible so as to not get ourselves into an unnecessary situation of possible hostility.
