Rama story
you wouldn't need FTL flight for a ship that size, and who knows how lang thats been out there, for all we know it could be sentient Veloceraptors from earths own past that made the ship, and all the "crafts" we see are from there, could it be the past retuning to earth to find their own species has died out?
It also may be why they are staying in the outer planets, and aways from earth, to help hide themselves, fascinating in any case
Or Arthur C Clarkes other book Childhoods end (1953), which I am actually reading at the moment and it makes for a great read as it also about the ET's actually coming down to earth as Humanity's overlords that make earth in to a Utopia again.
