He warned scientists to use caution in using the practice of METI, or “Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence” for fear it could provoke an alien invasion.
But Caballero conceded that the odds of extraterrestrials wiping out the human species is about the same as the planet being destroyed by a “global catastrophe asteroid.”
He wrote that such an event takes place once every 100 million years, so humans are in all likelihood safe for the time being.

This guy is lying. There are six of them.
“No Star Trek or Babylon 5 jokes?”
Zathras never makes jokes but Zathras does all the time.
Gee. Ya think?
I have only one thing.
Prove it.
Folks come out with this stuff “There ARE alien civilizations out there” kind of thing, but, there is absolutely NO proof of it.
OK, that was funny.
I only wipe out ants that bother me. I don't want to exterminate them from Earth.
Maybe they want to serve man?
The are lot of minor space faring species who while not mostly harmless, are still fairly harmless and barely worth mentioning. Species like the like the Goa'uld, Vogons, space empire easily distracted by cheesy love songs, evolved toasters who think they talk to God, and Magic Space Wizards who go from Womp Rat sized holes to Millennium Falcon sized weaknesses in their Super Space Stations are clearly not significant threats.
Step back from the Force Visions and do some math. The Galactic Empire and First Order lost three Super Space Stations to snub fighters, two mostly due to one beat up tramp freighter. I mean, come on, how in the name of the Force can Magic Space Hippies in tune to the greater cosmos let that happen three times and still get taken seriously? Once is a accident, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action, the first time was no accident and they would known better than Lord Lucas. In their all their prophetic Kwisatz Haderach-ing about Chosen Ones, no one thought about economics and unintended consequences in all the Force Ganja smoke? Please. This is what happens when the Light Side of the Mouse lets the Dark Lord of Lens Flare take over.
The Vorlons and Shadows don't count. They wim-piethed out.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Later pay for this, know will I.
Yeah DNA or "life" is about the only thing you can get from earth that you can not get in an easier to access form in space.
And if they have reached the starship stage they should be able to combine those things to make whatever they want.
Maybe they’ll know more about economics than the Biden mis-administration
The navy has some anti-gravity patents. I suspect we have or are close to having this technology and it would be a game changer for air travel. It would destroy the current aircraft industry immediately.
If you have an anti-gravity vehicle would you be able to create a gravity neutral field around it and thus allow for radical maneuvers?
Balderdash.
Poppycock.
I want to see the aliens. I want the aliens to save us from global warming, global cooling, climate change or whatever.
Show me the aliens!

But right now we need to be concerned about the malicious subcultures on Earth.
Bring it!
You're assuming that there is no God or creator of this universe that might come to our defense.
I "believe" there is a Creator, but an attack by an interstellar traveler (or a being pretending to be such) would certainly solve this mystery once and for all. God would either come to our aid or we would have to fight this final battle alone.
If there is a God, pity the poor stellar beings.
If there isn't...well, let's plan to fight like hell and die with honor. At least our enemy can see that in our final hour we showed courage and dignity.;-)
Once the promise of freedom and meritocratic achievement has been stamped out, all the useful Liberal idiots will be exterminated like garden pests.
The goal of the Elites is to clean up the planet by getting rid of unnecessary people who consume too much of the planet.
The middle class was once needed to provide labor for the Elites. No more. AI and robots, supported by a handful of workers, will now suffice.
Fire up the ovens. The Elites have a lot of trash to burn (one giant carbon footstep and it'll be over).
“It is about how rare intelligent life may be.”
The problem is that Homo Sapiens has taken unto itself the right to define “intelligence”.
That is cheating!
