The meaning of "alien" is that what is alien compares to nothing else that is known from before. Good advise then is: no anthropomorphizing, no comparison to anything by old, known standards. The alien is ALIEN. If there is something like alien life from other worlds, then most likely any animal life on this planet Earth is closer to us, than the alien life is. And why is everybody taking it for granted that the only reason aliens come to planet Earth - is man?

Very True. I think the interstellar aliens heard about the great fishing and nightlife here on earth not to mention having a pint or 2 of Guinness beer with your fish and chips. |

Sure they could be visiting us, but as my late friend Rocky used to say, "If they don't want to talk to me, screw 'em!"

"They" could travel from Alpha Centauri to our sun system in about 400 years, using non-FTL ships. A supercomputer made of one proton would be able to travel at light speed. If it is a sophon.. then goodbye to us Hawking may well be right, in a way he supports the "Dark Forest" theory. Did i mention Liu Cixin's "Three body problem" or "The dark forest" less than a hundred times already?

There was no alien. The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.
Now would you be so kind as to look at this pen I am holding...

You have already looked at the pen. You can confirm this by the fact that you don't recall looking at the pen.

If it is from earth and man-made, it is probably from China.
Don't ask me why.
