In any case, we can never truly know their intentions, even if tomorrow they we're to land in every city bearing gifts of peace. If humans decieve each other all the time, why should we expect any different from ETs?
That's how I feel. It stands to reason they would all have 'motives', and even if it sounds like a good motive (IE: keep us safe) there's could easily be a drawback (IE: Trapped in an illusion)
If I have to choose between trusting people and trusting ET's, I choose people.
