Your points #1 and #3 I am in full agreement with. #2 is possible, given the age of the universe, but I'm not entirely certain. #4 and 5 are a bit
"woo" for me to accept without proof "from the horse's mouth", so to speak.
Meaning us no harm and "benevolence" do not necessarily go hand in hand with "guidance", especially when that guidance has been conducted covertly,
and without our informed consent. That is not the way one sentient species respects another sentient species.
A human analogy might be, for example the way white settlers sought to "guide" Native Americans from "savagery" to "civilization" by stealing their
children and locking those kids up in "missionary schools", denying native Americans the right to speak and teach their native languages and practice
ther ancestral religions.
One would hope an advanced species capable of traversing light years would exercise greater respect.
I have not, personally, ever seen a UFO, nor can I say that I have ever been abducted (though when I was very much younger, 6-8 years old, I did
dream about UFO's occasionally), so I cannot speak to the "reality" that such events occurred....Nor can I deny that they have.
My father was directly involved with the "space race" during the 1960's. And before that, he was a computer technician assigned to a Nike interceptor
battery in San Francisco, CA...where I was born.
In a sense, I carried on in the "family business", participating in the race to build the first non-governmentally designed and launched rocket to
breach the Karman Line.
I spent many a long dark night, miles from "civilization" on the high desert of Nevada preparing for test launches at the break of dawn.
And yet, as far as contact is concerned....Bupkis! Nada! ZILCH!
Guess "they" figure I'm not worth the probe!
