implosion, i wont quote your whole post but you do bring up a great point. If these ET's are so far advanced then why would they even bother asking us for permission to do what they intended to do in the first place?
I suppose a few valid answers would be
They expected to stay here, and i am under the impression that humans greatly outnumber them (at least on earth) so they needed a place to be safe underground.
Also, maybe their intentions aren't malicious at all (at least in the beginning) and they were here as scientists, and really wanted to help the human race in advancing their technology (hell, they claimed they made us for gods sake!).
They just wanted to take a few humans, what the hell would the government care if they did, they send thousands of soldiers to war that are fully expendable!
I really think that all the above would be very cool to be found to be true, for various reasons... Unfortunately, most if not all of it seems to flea in the light of reason and/or the lack of veracity and specificity on the parts of the various people making the various claims...

Why is it assumed that just because WE don't respect the sovereignty of weaker parties, that beings from another planet don't either? Do people not see it as a possibility that aliens could ask first, because they believe it to be incorrect not to? Also, if they can reach other planets with less advanced civilizations, maybe they choose the willing planets to stay near?
Because it is better to assume an extraterrestrial civilization is hostile, allowing us to prepare for anything they might throw at us, than to assume they are nice peaceful beings, only to have them enslave all of mankind. I don't know about you, but I'd rather take the safe route on this one.

Now, decades ago the Aliens apparently disregarded the quota and record keeping and started doing whatever the hell they pleased.

And if they were hostile, would there be anything humans could do about it? We hardly have mastered their technology, what little we know from wreckage. I suppose we could drop nukes on ourselves and take them out too, but that's not a good plan. No wait, we couldn't do that. They have already disabled our nukes on several occassions in the silos and in the air (yes, we can thank them for not being in a nuclear winter right now).
I am not a religious person now nor was I ever, but through all my searching for the truth behind the curtain, it has led me to a spiritual path. Now just think about it, for all the people that believe in God which makes up 99% of the planet, do you really think that only 1% holds the true knowledge? Or is it perhaps the other way around which seems more likely. You cannot prove god exists, but yet you go on faith because of everything people have taught you since you were born (if you're religious) is that god exists. You have no tangible evidence for it, but yet you live your life as one under god. So by the same token, why should you not believe UFOs exist? Ahhh because most people in society have told you they didn't, and why did they tell you that? Because the masses would look upon you as some crazy person, a nutjob. They used to think the world was flat and laughed at the people who thought it was round. So you have truly seen enough evidence on UFOs from eyewitness accounts to last ten lifetimes, so why don't you believe?
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
