Area 51 is real, but there's nothing more interesting than some experimental airplanes and stealth jets.
If there was anything of interest on earth, Space faring aliens wouldn't bother negotiating for them, and would most likely just take it through force. It's faster, more efficient, and there is no need for learning our language, which may actually be impossible if their vocal systems are sufficiently different (which is almost certain, if their planet had even the slightest difference in it's geological and evolutionary history, the specieses that develop on their planet would be very different indeed.) If there was an termite mound blocking your way to a gold mine, would you befriend the termites or just kill those suckers and get the gold?
I rest my case.
