I see you are still making assumptions about what kind of technology these
aliens have.  I really don't see why you aren't working for NASA.  Don't you
think mankind would benefit greatly from the knowledge you have of such
technologies?

Why would the mere fact that they can travel great distances mean that they
can show themselves without fear?  I can travel great distances compared to
a Rhino with my car.  But I would be scared shitless when faced with an angry
Rhino even if I had my car.

Ok, why don't you let the cat out of the bag then.  If aliens possessed the
technology to travel between stars, then what technology would they have that
would blow our weapons away?  Can you name at least one thing that they would
DEFINITELY have?  Let's call it X.  So what is this X that they would have that
would make us say, "Oh, oh, these aliens have X!  We better not mess with them!"

Well, I could have been hallucinating when I saw a cat in the alley.  Once every
two years I have a schizophrenic event where I litterally hear someone calling my
name.  So there you go, it could merely be evidence that my schizophrenia is
getting worse.  See there, I really can't prove that I really saw a cat in an alley.
Can you?
