The current intergalactic council of civilisations, whomever they may hypothetically be. Would have a vast knowledge of evolution, they would know at which point in development a world would acquire the ability to contact them. In order to prevent an unexpected intergalactic encounter, between what would likely be our worlds first hyper-drive ship and some alien cargo freighter or drone. Such an encounter would lead to terror and warlike, fight-or-flight responses. To prevent this, the developing civilisation in question would be contacted at a point just before this occurs. One marker for a monitoring group to make this distinction might include: a.) whether or not we're a type 1 civilisation yet. b.)whether we as a whole might be psychologically receptive c.) whether or not we're likely to soon have faster than light speed travel. or some equivalent technology conforming to known rules of physics.
If they were monitoring us, there would be spies in the various target areas, most likely in the government. nasa, back in the day. maybe some just live normal lives to get to know the different ethnicities.
that was my thought for the day, commence insulting me.
