awesome! so, reid is a human possessed by an alien (who in true form is a glowing orb of light), who crash landed on earth somewhere in the mid 50s. the orbs aren't a very social species so they mostly keep to themselves and grow their collective of orbs, mostly as a result of some intergalactic conflict centuries ago. great losses on both sides, nobody knows who started it but both sides blame each other, etc. we could say the conflict between the orbs and the auroreans ended hundreds of years ago but wasn't actually resolved?
