Assuming they think like we do, they would more likely want to be seen so that they can at least talk to us. Our closest analogue with that is primitive tribes here on Earth - even for those we consider too dangerous to have regular contact with, we don't hide our presence from them. We don't saunter into their territory unprotected, and I wouldn't expect aliens to do that with us either, but we do establish contact and make ourselves known. It's not like we have the technology to go invade wherever they're from, after all. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero.

And there's no logical reason, unless I've missed some recent or big discovery, that discredits that it could be us. Could be? Sure, but basic analysis suggests it's very unlikely to be. Our solar system is quite young, by celestial standards, yet it's hosted life of some nature for hundreds of millions of years. Sentience doesn't take long to evolve under the right conditions - humans have only been around as a distinct species for a few hundred thousand years, yet we already have far surpassed other species that have been around since before the dinosaurs in that department. Earth-like planets around older stars could have (and likely did) hosted life long before Earth was even habitable. Odds are, at least one of them made it to sentience before us. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero.

Yes... because we interbred with them. The Neanderthals didn't "die out" because we mercilessly slaughtered them, they basically assimilated with us. It's quite likely, depending on your ethnic background, that you have Neanderthal DNA in you. And I sincerely doubt we're putting the fear of God into any species with the capacity for interstellar space travel. Again, do we cower in terror from tribes whose most advance weaponry is bows-and-arrows? No, we just fly the occasional drone by their area and send the odd specialist to check on them and see how they're doing. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster.

Survival and resources of course. Why else? If you can do FTL travel and get from star to star within a blink of an eye, colonizing is the most obvious thing to do.

If I were an alien, I'd quickly take this place if I found it. A very good place for tourists. Why would you take this planet? Who's to even say our planet would be hospitable for them? Not to mention there's other Earth-likes out there and if somebody is looking for resources? Our planet is garbage compared to any random asteroid belt in space. Also yes, spreading out is good for survival purposes but colonizing a handful of solar systems would be enough to ensure that.

That basically MASSIVELY increases the odds of significantly more life out in the universe. It will tell us that life is actually pretty common. I actually think microorganisms may not be very rare.
