IMO, they're here for the study of primitive life. Though it seems that they've tainted their study after allowing humans to retrieve their advanced technologies through saucer crashes. I doubt such crashes were intentional and much like humans, these creatures are fallible. The tainting of the experiment will likely lead to open contact at some point when humanity begins to actively employ the new tech.

Heelstone I'll give you that that they be here just to study us and nothing more. I still strongly believe they are not here to harm us. You're probably right thought that they don't want to help us either. Why? It is our responsibility to look out for ourselves and I'm talking about all humans.
A person is smart. People are dumb, crazed and just plain stupid. Aliens of a highly evolved state would know this.
And think of this...why would they want to help us out? Reason: We are the most violent race in the galaxy, no doubt. and we are on the verge of interstellar travel. You really think they want US coming to dinner???

That's a lot of assumption though... Maybe their people aren't dumb in flocks? Maybe they are even more violent than we are? Maybe they don't even understand violence?

Perhaps you just meant that as hyperbole, but that's very much a "hard to back-up" kind of statement.
I don't know if you realize how HUGE the Milky Way Galaxy is; roughly 70,000 light-years across. Meaning of course that it would take light, the fastest moving object possible in the universe, 70,000 years to cross.
We're talking about thousands upon thousands upon thousands of solar systems in our galaxy alone, each with possibly dozens of their own planets. Hypothesizing that we are the most "violent" living thing in the galaxy is about as conceited as thinking we're the only living thing in the universe, but in a different way.
Not to get off on another subject, but I think we often as humans tend to underappreciate how unfathomably vast the universe, and more specifically, our galaxy is. You're talking about areas that take LIGHT thousands and thousands of YEARS to cross, we can't even imagine how huge that is. Throw onto that that our Galaxy (the Milky Way) is actually a rather small Galaxy to boot.
Obviously, the idea then of "driving" somewhere in space so to speak, of sitting in a spaceship and going in a straight line to another world is simply unattainable. Even going the speed of light, something physically impossible, would take an astronomically long time.
The only way to navigate the universe, galaxy, or even our little solar system in any reasonable time frame, is to literally bring Point A to Point B instantaneously. Perhaps through wormholes or rifts, things that are STILL hypothesized and STILL far, far out of our understanding, yet people here and elsewhere try and treat as fact, like it's an established, understood intergalactic highway.

That sounds very good to myself. Until the covert governments allow humanity open contact with ET's, we will never see one of these ET aircraft land under the eyes of so many people.

Have you ever thought that the reason they haven't is because the covert government won't let them land?

I think that this is possible, but there is still and un-answered question: why? I can't see a reason for them to hide alien existance. Can you?

I have a theory that the Shadow Government of the United States is in alliance with a type of Alien intelligence. Somehow, I also believe that this Alien intelligence is not in any way benevolent toward humanity, having the same mentality as those in power. I believe that the Shadow Government is planning with Alien intelligence to overtake the world, attempting to have complete control over the planet--this could be a reality because there most likely is a need for some sort of inter-galactic defence. This is probably why the ufo sightings and information is all denied by government. Also, there are probably rogue alien aircraft that the Shadow Government is currently defending itself against, which could explain that video of light beams shot into space from earth, and the ufo's avoiding them--I think it was a NASA shot video.
Here is a little information about Alien Intelligence operation with Shadow Government.:

Cool!Something like this is very good in terms of countries and thier need for defence capabilities.

How about a more complex reality. Many alien forces aligned or not aligned with differing countries of the world, differing agencies and differing organizations with a lot of jockeying for who is on top at the end.
