I don't assume anything about aliens. A year ago, I was a Christian who had written some speculative sci fi that a purely material universe would be dominated by stealth AI wars that would obliterate careless humanity. Then increasing vimana reports caught my attention, and I started investigating Throawaylien, who like many UFOlogy sources is a blend of fact and fiction, probably a genuine contactee in some form, confusedly trying to raise awareness, but definitely fraudulent in his manner of execution. UFOlogy is one of the most difficult subjects to investigate that I have ever encountered, where almost nothing can be taken for granted. For example, mental manipulation of witnesses such as screen memories are standard operating procedure.

This is pure bias. You have no idea who the inhabitants of the galaxy are or what they value. As the grays who prioritized efficiency over emotion learned the hard way, organic consciousness is ultimately transcendent, on a long enough evolutionary timeline. Although transcendentally technological, they are now desperate for spiritual advancement like a man dying of thirst.
> Even if they have the means to come here, why would they? Just to pull a prank?
It is a backwards question. Why did aliens create Earth? Godlike beings also gain experience and evolve, through creation over unfathomable timescales.
> We're just an average species of apes
Evolution by gradual natural selection in general and human evolution in particular has a massive problem with too-slow mutational rate, rendering it non-plausible. Raw competitive evolution would result in insectoid or reptilian sapients preventing the independent evolution of subsequent sapients. Humans are designed for maximum sensitivity, which is not conventionally adaptive.
> Which is a very terrifying thought.
Now you're talking sense. Check the anomalously-shallow crater depth on the Moon, and you will understand why aliens are so good at stealth. Most things prefer to avoid nukes.
The push for world government is largely about the much-stronger negotiating position a united planet has with aliens. Internal planetary autonomy is a galactic legal convention, like the ban on planet-killer WMDs due to MAD. Obviously this ban has exceptions, as the asteroid belt attests.
