Absolutely agreed my friend, but more to the point ...
are they here visiting Earth?
No.
Any life out there that is advanced, would still be stuck in the macro world like humans, and while they might have longer travel range, I'd bet they are stuck locally like we are. I am no fan of the si fi crap that we can get warp drives or create worm holes or transporters. Star Trek was a show, not a documentary. AT BEST I could see us discovering communication from elsewhere. But no, I do not buy any Area 51 little green men, or ancient alien conspiracy crap.
It really pissed me off that si fi fans jumped the gun on the NASA article on the "warp drive". If hey had ACTUALLY read the damned article, they would have known it was ON PAPER ONLY, and the reality would be impractical in any case because of the energy required to do it.
The laws of science apply universally, so any life out there like us, is going to have to deal with the same macro world they are made of as well.
I think our species needs to focus on climate change, and a meteor defense system in the short term. I am sure science will continue to create great advances, but I do get a lip twitch when we put the cart before the horse.
