I'm not questionings Hawkings skills. I point out the way many of these scientist see aliens

Not so long ago I saw some kind of documentary on the German TV-channel N24 about alien and it that program they were hostile and in many more documentary I have seen, the aliens are hostile.

I have seen some sci-fi movies throughout the years and in most of them the alien is very hostile towards us.

There are some science program where the scientist say alien can't be hostile.

They're already here, everywhere, and they're taking over. They are right now disguising themselves to look like us to interbreed with us.

Don't be so prideful! Interbreeding is what they do with sasquatchs, yetis and borneo wildmen .. not to mention Daniel Boone style Kaintucky Yeahohs; regular genetically altered humans (subsquatches to the little gray guys) are just the food supply. In Washington State:

Whereas, be it resolved that any premeditated, willful and wanton slaying harassing or any malicious activities upon such creature shall be deemed a felony punishable by a fine not to exceed One hundred Thousand Dollars ($100.0000) and/or imprisonment, not to exceed ten (10) years.
Whereas, in the event of the slaying or capture of said creature any and all (moneys) proceeds and revenues shall be donated to a state college for future studies and or the protection of said creatures. The rights and physical possession to the said creature shall also be immediately donated to a state college, for further studies.

I, Boris and Arkady think alike???!! (psst! <he was one of them; part of relativity theory was assuming everyone else's core assumptions (Newton/gravity/time) is flawed...

And what about the diseases and stuff they might bring with them? Have you seen the size of the crab-lice on Mars?

It wasn't a documentary, even if it claimed to be. Documentaries "document" what is, not what someone imagines might be, no matter how important that someone is.

Sci-fi. Short for Science Fiction.

There are some science program where the scientist say alien can't be hostile.

Again there is no "can" or "can't". It's just speculation. Unless there are secrets somebody isn't telling us (and now we're back into conspiracy theories) there is no evidence one way or the other as to whether aliens even exist, let alone how they might act if we meet them. None.

With the utmost respect to the good doctor I personally postulate that any alien beings capable of traversing the universe to come see us would have a) long-ago figured out ways around their visitations being lethal to those they visit and b) have probably matured as a species to the point of being above conquest of other civilizations and would instead be more interested in exploration and scientific discovery

I am however open to the alternative that he is correct

I do however subscribe to the Idea that while it is statistically *probable* that numerous other alien civilizations may exist close enough to our solar system for a visit... It is rather *improbable* that those civilizations meet both criteria of being close enough to visit us AND technologically advanced enough to make the trip.

I think theories as to how a visiting alien race would behave are more wishful thinking than anything else. The truth is we have no idea how they would treat us.
