They’ve probably been looking at us for a long time.

"No one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets. And yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely they drew their plans against us…”
Richard Burton - "Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds"

Thanks for the quote, but with things the way they are today, “minds superior to ours” would do well to stay away, for their own safety.
