The Dogon say their astronomical knowledge was given to them by the Nommos, amphibious beings sent to Earth from Sirius for the benefit of mankind.
The name comes from a Dogon word meaning "to make one drink," and the Nommos are also called Masters of the Water, the Monitors, and the Teachers.

some thing else worth bearing in mind- "Alien" is a term relative to Earth. If you are not bound to Earth then off-world beings are not so alien.
Likewise, if you are not bound by linear time, then time travelers are not foreign either. Same with 3D reality and inter-dimensional beings.
The simplest answer to your question is to say that, regardless of the body type that a being inhabits (i.e., "alien" body or human), they might have
positive or negative intentions toward mankind. If you make a sweeping generalization about any off-world race, the result is a lie. It would be like
saying all white people are good or all Chinese are smart or all black people are good at sports. It's racist. It is the intention behind the being's
words and the results of its actions that count.
Some off-world beings want to suppress mankind and others do not. But the ones who do not tend to not interfere. Therefore, it is up to mankind to
save itself.
Remember the EBE only reached out to you... there was no weapon or anything... just sayin is all...
If you think what you went through was "far out", then, you may want more of a comfort blanket than religion!
