Well if they've been here as long as conspiracy theorists surmise, then what's there to study? Surely if they're that advanced they could have figured that out as pretty fast. We live to procreate, and to satisfy our evolutionarily crafted instincts. We do things because our instincts tell us to do so.
The introduction of extra-terrestrial neighbors would be a much greater experiment than simply observing us.
Regardless, if they are advanced enough to get to us, you'd think they'd be able to hide themselves better.

and the air force always calls ufo sightings "training exersises"
yes, clearly the fact that a military base is classified must mean that intergalactic beings created space ships and flew them to Earth just to scare us. Ever heard of Occam's Razor?
Area 51 is where they test new experimental aircraft. It's classified for a reason: to prevent other countries from getting their hands on our technology. The UFO ploy is an excellent way of diverting attention.
