Very unlikely imo, unless someone out there figured out how to travel faster than light

Maybe they are the actual dinosaurs. They evolved and left earth. Now they are coming back to see what happened to their planet and meet who evolved after them

it would be a probe, not a ship with people on it. could have been sent out thousands of years ago.

They would probably start strip mining the planet for resources without any interest in our existence. Obviously none of our weapons would be effective. They might not even notice us. It would be the equivalent of ants scurrying around as you dig a hole in your backyard.

Seems very unlikely. They're saying it because they've never seen something like it before. It would be cool if it were though.

seems unlikely. why would you open a mine in an area with a mosquito problem when you could go any random dead rock for your mining.

Pretty much anything they could get on Earth that would be valuable to a spacefaring civilization would be easier to get from other parts of our solar system. Very hard to make breaking out of our atmosphere an efficient and easy process.

We'd likely be safe, unless they have some weird moral or religious reason to fuck with us. They'd likely leave us stripped of most resources that we'd need to escape our solar system though, if that's really what they wanted to do.

As we find more and more exoplanets outside our solar system it's becoming more and more clear that water planets like Earth aren't exactly uncommon. We wouldn't have a lot of resources that other civs would want.

It might be a mistake to assign human reasoning or motivations to aliens. They might do things for reasons that we would never be able to understand, let alone explain.
