I sometimes get caught up in these kinds of questions and I can go on and on for hours before grounding myself again to the one simple fact: spiritual evolution is different from physical evolution, and that is different from technological evolution.

Just because the grays appear to have technologically advanced transportation systems for themselves doesn't mean squat about how their bodies and souls have evolved. The only thing that has made sense to me about them is that they focused TOO much on intellect and logic, and they lost sense of who they were... no intuition, no sixth sense, no emotions like love/fear/empathy/anger, no realization of where their place is in this whole multi-superverse. They have hit an evolutionary dead end- just like our science took a tangent a hundred years ago that has proved to force us into a technological dead end (we are limited in how fast we can fly because of the inherent limitations of jet propulsion). We will never evolve technology until we re-write our understanding of science.

So anyway, they are trying to recapture what they lost. Evidently, I guess it is in the DNA... and what better species to study it in than volatile earthlings? I am sure they got permission from some galactic federation to use us because no one else wanted their species to go through what humans go through during those experiments. It's not like the grays care about the pain or fear they cause. To them, the end justifies the means- and ironically, that is what they are trying to get away from. We just don't have the telepathic abilities to stop them or fight back like other "higher" species do.
