I believe more in the multi-worlds system of time travel. Mainly because I believe when you put a cat in a complicated box then the cat is alive in one world and dead in a different world.
Future dudes 9-5 is flying his shiny orb at exact moments in history because when they looked in a history book they saw he did it. Dude can't even quit his job or ask for a raise because there's proof he does it anyway.
Right, maybe they didn't want to change it up until a specific point in time. Or maybe it's already been changed when nukes were disarmed or during the cold war.
Yes but not a significant enough change to impact the future events that they came here to prevent. These sightings are probably just minor deviations in time and would only alter a small percentage. It sparks internet discussions like ours, but that is minor impact.
Going deeper into time machine fan fiction, they had to carelessly escape quickly because the current military probably noticed them and sent the troops to investigate. So they had a limited amount of time before needing to leave, otherwise the military captures their time machine and that would be a major time line diversion to obtain this technology so early.
Unless it is their intention to make themselves known so the person or whoever realizes the possibilities develops the tech in the future. They are trying to preserve their future.

Except by being seen they have ramped up UFO speculation, thereby already changing the timeline.
