Possibly they would send complex probes outward in all directions perhaps all self-contained that do not ever make direct contact with home base or maybe they can do so with quantum-based communications?
This situation pushed into present reality causes me to wonder if all of the interactions with ETIs and UFOs in our present world are not really real, but are machine based, complex machines to be sure, created by powers and concepts that and we, in our puny minds, cannot even begin to imagine…but are beginning to glimpse in our future.

Part of what I have suggested is that realistically and practically, it makes no sense for any massive intellect to travel the stars to mess with the developing life forms that it knows are out there. Such a being, we can assume could only travel by a large, sophisticated ship that would actually be its home as SOL and near SOL velocities would prevent ever returning to the old home. Such a dedication would have to be its purpose in its existence and contact its main goal.
It would be more logical for it to sit at its home planet doing its thing and to send out autonomous ships guided by quantum computers that would seek out developing life forms and provide a standard boiler-plate form of advancement for them. These ships would move in all directions away from the home star, thousands or millions of them if the resources allowed. Never would they return as they were not living creatures but build sophisticated machines with a dedicated purpose to support live creatures where ever they were found. Such is what I proposed in the original OP, did you really read it?
