One thing I have evidence for, if not total "proof", is what could be the origin of the dragon tales.

None of what I have to say can be backed up by proof, but you may find it interesting none the less.
Long ago there were tales of dragons, in which the legends still exist to this day. When we think of dragons and their origins we think of China. But I want to look at the dragons from British tales, in which the origin came from Celtic, Saxon, and Norse influences.
Not everyone is convinced of that, but I find it to be a plausible argument, especially after watching archaeologists ID the "dragon remains".
When people discovered fossil bones in ancient China, they figured they were dragon bones (to be more precise, bones shed by dragons who have achieved their final, fully airborne forms). Many crushed dinosaur fossils were sold over the years as "dragon bone powder." No one knows how many important discoveries were lost due to the superstition. In any case, the words for "dragon" and "prehistoric creature" in most Asian languages are very similar, and sometimes it's simply used to refer to both dinosaurs and dragons. This goes a long* way to explain why many Chinese dinosaurs have dragon-derived names. Not to mention why, especially in videogames, dinosaur-like creatures have fire-breathing abilities and dragon-like creatures are identified as dinosaurs.
The Western origins of this trope are a bit more complicated....now it's more like Dragons Are Dinosaurs. This is based on the fact that quite a few anthropologists are convinced that all of the legends of fantastic beasts could only have been based upon misinterpreted fossils.
True, fossils don't explain acient UFO sightings, but there are other possible explanations for those. For example,this UFO might have a perfectly rational sighting in modern times that wouldn't have been accepted or understood at all when it was recorded:

I suppose It's a logical explanation of a dragon's origin. But it doesn't explain the recorded sightings from long ago, like the sightings of UFOs that are stated by people nowadays.

Daimon by Alan G. Hefner Daimon is the Greek derivative for the term demon. In this sense the term "demon" means "replete with knowledge." The ancient Greeks thought there were good and bad demons called 'eudemons' and 'cacodemons.' The term 'daimon' means "divine power," "fate" or "god." Daimons, in Greek mythology, included deified heroes. They were considered intermediary spirits between men and the gods. Good daimons were considered to be guardian spirits, giving guidance and protection to the ones they watched over. Bad daimons led people astray. Socrates said he had a life-time daimon that always warned him of danger and bad judgment, but never directed his actions. He said his daimon was more accurate than omens of either watching the flights or reading the entrails of birds, which were two respected forms of divination of the time.

By the dragons, I firmly believe that these were the ships of either the greys or the annunaki. That leads to question, the rapture. I always imagined this as being sort of similar to that movie, Knowing, where in the end, they came in the ships that were like the descriptions from the book of Ezekiel. the "celestial" beings, I agree on the person above about the greys, it seems logical.

So, do you believe that there will be a point where they disclose themselves to the world (in a big way), and if/when that happens are they friend or foe?

I don't know this answer sorry.
I could speculate either way, just as you can.
I really do hope they do though, because even if it went really bad that's still better than having to wake up to the same asinine world tomorrow.
