We're not even the first on Earth, depending on how you define intelligent. Neanderthals were intelligent; not quite as intelligent as us, but plenty intelligent.

Agreed.
Homo heidelbergensis likely was intelligent as well (buried their dead, had hafted stone points and hand axes, had specialized hearing and right-handed tendencies which some believe implies complex speech) and they are between 500,000 and 1.5mil years old. Modern Human is definitely not the first intelligent species on the planet

An extraterrestrial species has very likely existed as some point before us in the universe and will at some point after us as well, but a space-faring race that has come to earth to abduct and do tests on us? Nah, I can't buy that.
