I agree 100%. To think there is no other life form out there somewhere is nuts. Our planet and solar system is just a tiny spec even in our own Milky Way galaxy.
That's my thought. Even if they're are other life forms, why would they be looking for others? And why at our planet? What are the odds that they've developed the technology necessary to travel to other planets so far away? Isn't it equally as likely that they are more rudimentary than us rather than less rudimentary? How come they always seem to be able to survive our atmosphere when we know we likely couldn't survive unprotected on any other planet that we know about? If they visited One Planet per month starting with those closest to them, how long would it take them to get to ours? Etc, etc etc.
I mean we are searching for life and if you believe in any sort of basic evolution (not even in the sense that humans come from apes but just how civilizations progress/evolve over time) it only makes sense that another civilization would do the same, IMO. Once technology gets advanced enough then that search actually gains traction
. Also don’t think they would have to visit every planet, I mean we have rovers so they could send out a bunch of unmanned (unalienated?) craft to determine what planets are worth visiting .
