Better yet...what if aliens are us. What if future humans have developed the ability to time travel? The "aliens" are humans from the future coming back to observe earlier history. They understand the consequences of messing with the timeline, so they avoid human contact at all costs to avoid messing up the future they currently reside in. Only since they are human, they have made a few mistakes like getting seen or crashing. This could also explain the government cover up that conspiracy theorists like to claim. Let's say the Roswell crash indeed happened. Maybe at least one of the occupants of the ship survived long enough to explain the time travel thing to the people who found the ship. The military then realized the real threat to humanity would be messing up the timeline by exposing the truth. Therefore they have kept the secret for humanity's sake.
