Gundam AGE: The Mystery of the U.E. [Unknown Enemy] Revealed?!

The mystery of the U.E. [Unknown Enemy] is revealed?   *Spoilers Below*
According to a post from CyberGundam (Hopefully I did not misread the content):
"U.E. (Unknown Enemy) are robot mobile suits created by the Hino company 100 years in the future to assist in the development of the AGE System, with the ultimate goal to create the most powerful Gundam.  A 100 years from now, a terrible enemy will be attacking Earth (not the U.E.), and Earth's technologies will be insufficient to meet this threat, facing total annihilation.  This is the reason why the U.E. is attacking, in order to help produce a more powerful Gundam to save the future." 

Thanks to Anonymous (posted under comment), more info was provided:
- UE avoid killing Flit on purpose for the above reasons, so they killed his mother instead to give him motive
- The actual final battle will be shown as a movie
- Yurin is an artificial newtype from the future. She is sent to support Flit and also, uh... bear his child, which will then become a hyper newtype. She is also designed to have looks that make Flit fall at the first sight

UE 是100年後的日野家企業製造出來!!!

為了AGE系统的進化及製造100年後的究極Gundam, 所以UE要攻擊地球

由於100年後遇上可怕的敵人(不是UE), 未來的技術也不敵, 地球已到達被毁滅狀態.

這一刻的戰鬥是試鍊, 為了促進未來及創造最終技術

企画書からネタバレをひとつ・・・

Q、敵の正体は?

A、主人公の会社が開発した未来的ロボ 
  ただし、現代で開発されたわけではなく、100年後の未来からやって
  来ている

Q、敵の真の目的は?

A、地球を攻撃する事でAGEシステムをフル稼働させ、100年かけて
  究極のガンダムを作り上げさせるため

Q、 敵なのになぜそんな事をするの?

A、 実は真の敵はロボ軍団ではなく他にいる
   100年後の未来ではそいつらによって地球は壊滅状態に
   
   未来の技術ではかなわないので、あえてタイムスリップし
   フリット達を鍛え上げる事で究極の技術革新をうながしている

   それによって地球人たちが死ぬのも必要悪との認識
   すべては未来の地球のためである

The mystery of this new Gundam series, is what interest me the most at this point.  If the above info are true, it does shed some light on the events from the first 3 episodes, but at the same time it also raise more questions as well.  Is there time traveling involve in this series?  If the U.E. were created to help produce a powerful Gundam, with the goal to save Earth.  Then why are they attacking and killing so many?  Perhaps I am reading too much into this small piece of rumor, but certainly I look forward to watching the upcoming episodes with great interest.
