If we could go back in time and show ourselves to cavemen, apart from them
being wowed with our new fangled gadgets, there would be nothing else we
could show them that would change their lives in anyway. Maybe being able to hunt better but that surely would be it.

So what do you expect from them when/if they ever get here?
Is it spiritual awareness?
Is it their supposed advanced technology?

So why does anyone think that just because an alien race has lived longer than us they would be able to guide the way spiritually?
We're no closer to answering the questions of life, so why would they?
I think after the initial shock of them arriving, we will quickly be aware that
they probably dont have that much to offer us.
What do you want from them?

If UFO's are of extra-terrestrial origin, which I believe, then their behavior is logical. A revelation of their presence would probably destroy our society and stop our scientific progress.
