We also don't know what's on their cosmic doorstep. Perhaps wormholes or even something unforeseen (by us) are identifiable, perhaps even visible, and they've experimented with and used these. Perhaps through some obvious ease that we haven't even thought about. It could also be they have resources in their star system that are different and/or more abundant to ours which protect their craft through such journeys.
With our species we get a genius or two who come around every few generations and transform how we think. Maybe they just had one 'freak of nature' genius who came along and transformed everything. Perhaps they have brains that remain largely untapped by the norm, say at 1% intellect capacity, but then huge, but rare, variations in brain power exist, say up to 90%. It is thought that our brains operate at around 10-15% of capacity (think?). Theirs could variate much more.
Maybe they're incredibly intelligent at some things but complete dumbasses at others. Also, maybe we are warring types, but they don't have a warring bone in their body. Maybe they don't even know what a weapon is.
So, lets not be so sure that they are superior to us. They may have discovered how to travel at light speed, but we may easily outwit them at other things.
In that case, they're already here. How else do you explain Keith Richards.
Not seen that on TV for a long time.
We're being primed for an announcement. Expect Independence Day, Contact, War of the Worlds and Mars Attacks on your screens soon.
Also that one where a farm in the US gets attacked by little grey men, filmed using a hand held camera like Blair Witch. Rubbish but pretty tense from memory.
Personally I’m more a fan of Men In Black.
Alien Abduction: The McPherson Tape!
Oops, spoilers...
Also, about this being a new arms race between countries trying to reverse engineer craft found. The first country to suss it out surely gets a huge military advantage.
If of course they are out there!
I think its likely now that there will be an announcement in the next few years. Firstly when they discover life on a planet outside our solar system or on Europa. That will make it science and not science fiction and from that point sightings won't be dismissed with a scoff as a bit of a 'Nessielike' joke.
