“It appears that these ‘visitors’ have been visiting for centuries, millenia perhaps!”

Well, I love listening to Kook to Kook AM, I still, however, remain an extreme skeptic about being, or ever have been visited, by ET.
A trip of 127 light years, even at the speed of light, would be a bit exhausting to say the least, and not many gas stations along the way.

I remember back in the fifties there was a buzz about
listening for radio signals from a star that is 11 light years away.
The thinking was that the then new TV signals (not reflected by the ionosphere) that had originated 22 years prior would have reached this system and it would be time to look for any reply.
SETI was established to look for radio signals from other stars.
Of course, we have picked up only static.
Most of the kooks can not even imagine what a light year is.

You are making the common mistake of assuming these visitors are not dwelling already in our solar system, so they don’t have to come each century from so far away. Yes, if they live in our solar system and didn’t originate on Earth, they had to make a long journey soem where/when now in our past, but they may have made a probe journey two million years ago, and the descendants of the probe are now monitoring us to choose when to take us into their ‘advanced civilization’. BTW: We tend to think of ‘advanced’ as applied merely to technology, and forget that Jesus was so much more advanced than his smartest disciples that we know Him as God with us.

At a dollar a mile, it’s still less than our national debt/s;)
