Here, benevolent aliens do not intervene because they follow a Prime Directive of sorts; their history of millions of years has taught them that if a civilization cannot lift itself to the stars by its own bootstraps, it is not cut out to stay there. Besides, "Take me to your leader" doesn't work when planet Earth is cut up into religious, political, and cultural fiefdoms. There is no true leader to approach in the first place.
So my answer is yes. After extensive research on the subject, I have come to the conclusion that they know we are here -- but humanity is not collectively prepared for the introduction.

Ok this is where my bullshit detector starts to fluctuate a bit. Now I'll start with saying its a plausible story in that IF some sort of alien technology showed up then their may be people and reasons to cover it up.
But here is the rub. Why never any details of this supposed technology?
The petroleum industry is always a bugaboo for some reason. If every conspiracy theory about them were true, they have single handedly set back the progress of Western civilization by decades if not a century at least in energy use. Yet this same industry, which is able to hide such things, isn't able to stop the eminently disputable man made global warming scare which could effect its profits? I mean they can keep great scientists from speaking the truth about UFO's but can't seem to shut up a few tree hugging professors and shut up a washed up VP?
Lets think of it this way. The oil industry has some great minds working for them, not every scientist wants to make their daily bread by begging for grant money from the government, many go into private industry. While working for the oil industry I will assume one doesn't sell ones soul, and if there was a clean, renewable, cheap fuel wouldn't you want to tell the world? Plus telling the world these days, again, is simple. If some great advance were to show up anonymously on the net one day, I'd be quick to change my opinion, but so far no.
Then comes the 'well it is getting out but slowly' type of theory. People look at the current advances and think 'something' happened that made technology, which was somewhat stagnant for 2 thousand years, suddenly explode with PC's and jet planes. The problem is this explosion started not in the 40's but in the late 1870's. Evolution, electricity, geology, chemistry, medicine, all began taking great strides forward, and you can see what led to what. So either this has been going on for over 100 year or its just that people started taking science 'seriously' and the scientific method is to credit the technology explosions.
Give me SOMETHING concrete, something I can look at and say 'that ain't right', something verifiable.
