How Much Free Will Do You Have?
Imagine if you will, the aliens are going to reveal themselves to the earthlings.
And, they are going to do it in ever more noticeable ways. So that everyone will, at least, have some exposure to them. They want to give everyone time to acclimate to their presence, before they show up and say, "Hi".
Do you have to see them? Do you have free will, to see them, or not see them?
Well, this is actually a tricky question, or a rather involved answer. And whether or not, aliens are real does not go into the equation at all.

Most people do not see spirits or angels
Most people believe in spirits (ghosts, passed loved ones, little ones) and an angels, however, most people do not see them. And people who do see them will experience different things based on the level they seem them at. (you have a vibrational level, on top of that, you have a vibrational range that you can perceive within)
A person seeing an angel may describe it as:
- a person
- a person with wings
- a burning bush
- wheels upon wheels
- six wings and hundreds of eyes
But all these people will feel the power, the holiness of their presence. This is why you often hear "Be not afraid" when they are first encountering the people.
There is so much going on here, in between what the person can see/perceive and what the angel projects.
And people who do not want to deal with angels, do not have to see them. You have that free will.

The structure of the universe
You have ultimate free will, however, you give up a lot of it when you choose to incarnate in a universe with other beings.
Basically, being here on earth, means you have agreed to play chess (or any other game as an example). These are the rules you follow so that you can interact with other beings. Things like not walking through walls and being shot hurts/kills. There are so many things that we agree upon in order to be here. Still, you have a great deal of free will, even in these things. You can bend most of the rules, it really depends on internal energy and vibrational frequency.
(most people bend the rules around things like lifting a car off their child, or turning an automobile accident into a miraculous survival.)
Now, there is also various levels in and of earth. There are layers of earth that already have open contact with aliens. And there are layers that have a long way to go before they vibrate high enough to interact with aliens. We, on this layers, are about to have a lot of people have open contact with aliens. (but not all people)
So, you choose, when you incarnate to be bound by the rules of the game of the level of the Earth that you are born into. You can look at this as a limit on your free will, but it is you who limited your free will.

So, what about aliens?
Right now, our Earth (layer of) is deciding whether to have interactions with aliens or not. Basically, much of this layer has decided on having interactions with aliens. (We chose this back in 2012.) Some of this layer are not of high enough vibration to have interactions, and they may separate into yet another layer of earth, as well as those who do not want to interact with aliens.
Those who do not want to be part of the Earth that doesn't interact with aliens will be like "bah humbug" when the newspaper reports on giant UFOs flaying around, or 3I-ATLAS suddenly making a left hand turn and heading towards Earth. (space rocks do not suddenly make left hand turns) They will doubt all the evidence, or just completely miss what is happening, like they have been hiding under a rock for years.
Of course there are already people who have had many encounters with alien space crafts, and even some people who have had actual interactions with extra-terrestrial aliens.
And, this is all by free will. However, to continue to not interact with aliens, you will have to choose to be incarnated into lower and lower vibrational earths. If you choose any higher vibrational earths, you will be accepting alien interaction as a base state of the rules you be born into.

Alien interaction brings with it a bunch of issues. Like, having a higher vibrational being in the interactions, means you will have to up your vibration. If you can't hang, then you will have all kinds of problems in that life.
Aliens will not bring us new technology. Well, not like everyone thinks. They are not just going to drop off free energy devices and say, "have fun". In fact, alien technology might not work on earth. However, what does happen is that talking about things causes ideas to flow. Just talking about how you see the world, with them about how they see the world, can give you insights on how to build devices that allow us to "see" more or our world.
Are you ready for telepathy? Well most aliens communicate by telepathy. So, if you are not ready for that level of controlling your mind and thoughts, if your thoughts just run away on any tangent, then telepathy from you may be a pain to listen to. And if you can't keep focus, you will have a hard time staying in a conversation. If you are not ready, most of the telepathic aliens will avoid you. (both for your safety and theirs)
One of the first things aliens will gift us is holographic recordings of Earth's history. And this will greatly effect so much of how we see things, how we think of things. Our history is taught to us wrong, it will be hard for many people to be smacked in the face with how wrong they are. Further, this very much affects all the Holy Texts. We have many things wrong, both in interpretation and in malicious editing. And, if your belief in God is based solely on the incorruptibility of "God's Word" than you are going to have a huge breakdown when faced with this information.
Many aliens are looking forward to interacting with us, in great joy. The must wait for us to be of high enough, stable vibration.
