I have asked this question several times but never got a satisfactory
reply.

1) How come it crashed with all the advanced technology?

It did not simply "crash" - it was attacked by the forces that keep
this place (planet Earth) in confinement. They knew in advance
that this would be a "bumpy ride" and a "no return" mission.

2) How come a civilization with AI sent carbon based aliens to Roswell?

Those guys were not sent by their homeworld, they were rebels.
They came to bring you some light (like Prometheus), part of their
"payload" contained oldest technologies from a history museum
in order to make it easier for humans to understand the basics.
{Ask "Xerox", they got most of it :-)}

They are my heroes! May they rest in peace!

P.S.: Your second question is irrelevant, there are no artificial
intelligent machines that feel a irrational need to help mankind.
