been a good reason for leaving. Exploration, conquering or lack of resources would be the
three obvious choices.

uh, you're the one assuming you know so much about how aliens live their lives. i'm assuming i can tell what their general actions would be. you're trying to tell me about their psychology and social structure and you're forgetting that it doesn't matter if aliens live on earth that cannot be detected.
if that's true then guess what.... it's inconsequential to you!
Using a high-potency light source, the Soviet cosmonauts used
Morse Code to welcome the visitors in Russian. There was no reaction
from the aliens. The Soviets tried English: "Are you reading us?" again,
no reaction. On the third try, still in Morse Code, the cosmonauts
tranmitted a binary number: 101101, which expressed a certain geometric
figure. The aliens responded with another sequence of numbers, not the
same as theirs. Later the cosmonauts verified that the aliens had
transmitted the value of the letter "E," based on a logarithmic
configuration applied frequently by the computers on Salyut 6, when
programmed to graphically linearize the relative curves of a complex
mathematical function.

but, again i'm not saying aliens aren't real. i find it hard to believe that they wouldn't be. i'm saying that due the contraints on interspace travel a sufficiently advanced species would very likely be no wehre near us and pprobably not even in this same galaxy.

There are, technically, about 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, but if you count the small-mass stars, however, there can be around 400 billion.

But you are MISSING the point. Threads on ATS aliens are not about inert aliens that will be meeting humans at the same time humans are meeting them. We're talking about planet ruling, abductive, self serving aliens that are here to "eat your face off" and make your mom watch.
This is what this thread is about.
