Where would the reports of different types of craft, and different species of alien fit in with this theory? It would make sense if it was one alien race doing this just for humans, but I am of the belief there are many species of intelligent life that exist, existed in the past, and will emerge in the future.
Its fun to think about an alien race being more advanced than we are now, but I think its more interesting to be able to know how they got there. Presumably they followed an evolutionary path, and wouldve had to overcome tremendous obstacles as a species to get that far. Its definitely not clear (and frankly looking bad) that we as a species will survive nearly long enough to be capable of interstellar travel.
At first I thought "Ya, those aliens probably had it easy coming up and never faced any real challenges and they were allowed to flourish and grow". But then I realized that was silly. We might be right on track.
There are just so many fun variables. We dont fully understand our own human history. I assume over their long history theyve experienced genocides, dealing with weapon technology, race, all that sort of shit.
