It sounds like what I've theorized for decades now:
We "made contact" a long time ago, maybe the 50's or the 20's? Advance scouts made secret deals with various governments & corporations.
The "Mother Fleet" is on the way. When they arrive the whole world will be sent into chaos for one reason or another.
It's the only logical reason why every government on Earth is deficit spending their nations into extinction. They know the end of days is coming, soon!
Either life is unique in the universe, in which case no, or it occurs spontaneously, which means it would be everywhere and there's little reason for it to mess around with any other life.
If they're smart enough to build Motherships, they've realised that multiple cultures in close proximity is a universally bad thing.
I think "life" is all over the galaxy, but intelligent life could be exceedingly rare in comparison.
If they could build inter-stellar ships they likely would. I think curiosity is universal too.
The chance they'd explore the galaxy to find & exterminate any signs of intelligent life is a possibility too :x
Any species that gets intelligent enough and cooperative enough to make space-faring feasible, gets too empathetic, and gives too many entities ruling rights ("voting") out of feelings or virtue instead of merit or rationality, which cascades into corruption, and inevitable societal collapse. It happens without fail.

Great Filter theory:

You’re just talking about white people
