The technology required for humans to leave our solar system, is way beyond us. As is the technology to send anything beyond the range of modern telescopes. Which have found little evidence of anything other than dead planets.
Technology requires funding. We can't afford it. So why assume anyone one else can?
To arrive at a point where we can afford it, will require destroying the planet we're on. The biggest problem for people in the 22nd Century, will be natural resources to get to the next town. Of course there won't be much point in going there as it will be as shitty as where you are already.
Don't believe me, think back to real living standards 30 years ago. Besides all the cheap imported gadgets, what was best?
Prince Charles gave an interesting interview about climate change reducing resources. Whether it's man made or not it's happening. It's ruining food production, with exploding populations expect more of the Worlds poor to arrive at our door step. Or to go to war over resources, including oil. which is what ISIS is after, they want control of it before it runs out.
If Aliens came here, we should be terrified they don't want what we have. They have to need to travel 100s of light years, and it won't be to spread peace and love.
