Shouldn’t SETI refer to them, not as Aliens, but as undocumented travelors?

maybe there ARE out there, but the real question is do we really want them to know that WE are HERE? a whole planet of potential slaves/food ripe for the taking?

Dr. Hans Zarkov: We are only interested in friendship. Why do you attack us?
The Emperor Ming: Why not? Pathetic earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void, without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would've hidden from it in terror.

Haven’t we been looking for radio signals from alien civilizations for something like forty years?

That’s probably what they’re saying too.

Astronomers have NO DATA to support this assertion.
Its all statistical guess work, based upon their “faith” in evolution.
“If we cooked up from the soup here, then with all of the trillions of planetary opportunities out there, somebody’s probably bubbled up somewhere’s else!”

I am sure there are space aliens out there but what good are they? Unless they did something useful like lowered the price of gas or cleaned up Fukushima or hurled all of Washington, D.C., the District of Criminals, into another dimension these space aliens can go jump in a lake.

If so, why haven't any of them visited here or at least had the courtesy to send an email?
None are as "advanced" as humans? That would mean we're the smartest ones in the universe.
Scary, indeed.

The chances of finding it I think are good and if that happens it will happen in the next 20 years depending on the financing, Shostak told the committee.The aliens obviously have sharp agents.

the possibility of extraterrestrial microbial life is "close to 100 percent."Microbial life is the hard part. Once there's DNA, the sky's the limit.

I’m trying to remember the scale given in “A Short History of Nearly Everything.” If the Earth were the size of a pea then Pluto would be the size of a one-celled bacterium and would be a mile distant. The universe is big. Bigger than Obama’s ego.
If you disallow magical means of transport as envisioned in Star Trek the chance that we would ever meet an alien is vanishingly small. The odds would make winning the Florida lottery seem to be a virtual given for everybody who buys a ticket.
I have zero doubt there are other intelligences out there. But even if they froze themselves and launched towards us billions of years ago, by the time they got here their civilization would be long dead.
Species on Earth live an average of only 10 million years.
Oh, and why would they come here? Even if our radio signals can be understood at the colossal distances we’re talking about, they haven’t yet gotten to a suitable candidate star.
To: Las Vegas Dave
Cuz this time, we weely, weely want there to be aliens. So pweez, pwetty pweez, give us more money.
To: Las Vegas Dave
I say go for it. There are few signs of “evolved intelligence” to be found on planet earth any more.
