Imagine how many different combinations of chemicals have come together and bonded, and what sort of molecular combinations have produced that phenomena known on earth as consciousness. What sorts of foods would they eat, what mind altering drugs would effect them. How would they percieve light, and what spectrums could they view. How would their brain anatomy affect how they perceive the physical world, and what sorts of technology and art would they find pleasing and ascetic. What chemicals could we add to our own minds, what sort of dna codes are needed to see the colors they see. Can they be added to our own. Would they find anything of the human race of chemically or molecularly of interest to them. Maybe they don't come here for humans, but dophins, plants, slime molds, or funguses. Life is the most precious resource on earth. Its a pity we kill so much of it. Would the aliens see us as essentially hostile to life, and the universe itself, and by extension themselves if they saw our factory farms? What if they wanted to consume us rather than befriend us? Maybe we are just too distant from whatever corner of the galaxy or universe holds the resources useful to them.
I would bet they have already come to earth. Life here might have even been brought by alien beings, or perhaps we ourselves are alien to this planet, galaxy, or even universe.
