An alien race millions of light years away, manages to warp thru space at faster than light speeds, avoid asteroids, the pull of other planets, escape the effects of solar radiation, manage to feed and hydrate their crew, decelerate and enter our atmosphere after performing a navigational miracle to get here, avoid burning up on entry, and just before they get close to the ground they need to turn on bright lights to see where they are going?

Doesn't anyone find the problem with this arrival profile of aliens?

Hahaha. It is abSURD.
I don't believe that there are any aliens within any realm of our travel possibility. But I think that God DID create other beings. Hard to think that this entire existence is JUST for us miserable hooman beans.

One of Alamo_Girl's sayings borrowed from I do not remember where, states that without Time events do not occur, and without space things do not exist. Space and Time are the 'where/when' of what is the Universe of God's Creating. Everything that IS in spacetime has aspects of a where/when. Things not in the Created Universe will not have some where/when ... and we are told by God that only HE, as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit exist without there having yet been a creation. Thus ONLY God can be outside of a where/when yet exist. He IS, however, not hindered from being in His Creation.

Since everything except God must have a where/when to exist, even Angels have some form of where/when. We humans have aspects of our existence which are in various where/when states.

Our body is in a where/when which ages and dies, dissolving into the elements from which it was composed. Our mind, will, and emotions--our soul of life which animates the body while connected thereto--is not existing solely in the same where/when as the body which dissolves. This, according to what God has given us to know from His instruction in the Bible.

BUT our soul does have some where/when of reality not the same as the where/when to which the body is limited, some temporal/spatial variabilities, variables which we have yet to even start to fathom because of our primitive conceptualization of dimension Time. I happen to believe that our Spirit, inherited from Adam into whom God 'breathed' the spirit, also has where/when variabilities which are not limited to those opf the soul where/when and the body where/when.

My question to the extra-terrestrials would be, "Do you have a spirit, or are you limited to just the where/when of your body and the where/when of your animating soul? My studies of the Bible over the past decades indicates to me that ONLY humankind, in all of God's Universe, is created with the tri-part body, soul, and spirit.

Jesus, God with us, chose this species, the humankind of His Creation, into which to take up physical, bodily existence. I believe He has used that body to move around in Time and in Space.
