You might want to look into the Prime Directive:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Directive

Warp Drive comes from nanotechnology which DARPA is continually funding, 
because they have UFO's.  And UFO's are made from nanotechnology.

In the fictional universe of Star Trek, the Prime Directive, Starfleet's
General Order #1, is the most prominent guiding principle of the United
Federation of Planets. The Prime Directive dictates that there can be no
interference with the internal affairs of other civilizations. In many
respects, then, the prime directive can be considered the galactic analogue
of Westphalian sovereignty. It has special implications, however, for
civilizations still at a 'primitive' stage of development, since no
primitive culture can be given or exposed to any information regarding
advanced technology or the existence of extraplanetary civilizations, lest
this exposure alter the natural development of the civilization. In addition
to exposure, purposeful efforts to improve or change in any way the natural
course of such a society, even if that change is well-intentioned and kept
completely secret, are prohibited.

'Primitive' is defined as any culture which has not yet attained warp drive.
Starfleet allows scientific missions to investigate and move amongst
pre-warp civilizations as long as no advanced technology is left behind, and
there is no interference with events or no revelation of their identity.
This can usually be accomplished with hidden observation posts, but
Federation personnel may disguise themselves as local sentient life and
interact with them.
