Survival of the Craziest
Agent Scully: Just because I can't explain it, doesn't mean I'm gonna believe they were UFOs.
Agent Mulder: "Unidentified Flying Object", I think that fits the description pretty well. Tell me I'm crazy.

In all probability, our species was given an evolutionary "push" by an extraterrestrial race, for it seems unnatuaral that a single species should single-handedly dominate an entire planet, and that by such a wide margin (I recommend Arthur C. Clarke's "2001: A Space Odyssey" for a plausible theory along these lines). Perhaps an alien race was once observing, unseen, the various species evolving on our planet, and gently pushed the most promising in the right direction... by manipulating their environment, or perhaps by planting ideas directly in their heads. And we stand today on the brink of repeating the process... consider: if we do find a simple, microbic lifeform on say, Mars, we do have the capability to "push" it in a direction we like... to accelerate its evolution, or to forcibly create a species that is somehow useful to us... for example to "terraform" Mars into a planet habitable by humans (Hopefully whoever did this to us wasn't as selfish as we have come to be). In such a scenario, *we* would become the aliens, the silent watchers, without knowing whether we were once watched, or still are... And hats off to the folks@SETI@HOME for making planet Earth a much more interesting place to live on!!
