The rest of scientology can be termed ocular rectitis

That and all the other "ancient alien" stuff sounds plausible, but you first have to get by general relativity since realistically it all depends on travelling much faster than light. Either it is possible in a linear fashion (warp speed), or wormholes are traversable by life forms, or it is possible to fold space-time. In all cases, the power curve might be unattainable, unless there is a way to tap into zero point energy or negate dark energy, and even then you have to deal with inertia. That technology is probably thousands, if not millions of years beyond us.
Then all you have to do is explain why the aliens made themselves known to our ancestors to the point that they were worshipped as gods, but are reluctant to reveal themselves to modern man. Or even why bother with us at all. As Mr. Spock said in one episode, they are probably as far beyond us on the evolutionary scale as we are above an amoeba.
