That's not a documentary - it is a paranoid fantasy.

Doesn't go into details too much. I think they'd use a virus to wipe us out. Why damage a viable planet? They must be very rare out in space?

They'd just enslave us. Wait, the Reptilian Overlords already did!
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I for one welcome our nearkin brother Probers from Probos Prime. Pushing bravely into the unknown, leaping from world to world - each time hoping the next leap will be the leap home.

I seriously doubt that it is possible to develop more than lightspeed travel or even close to lightspeed travel. So, space travel over long distances for living beings is only possible on generational ships.

That means, you don't plan on visiting Earth just for fun.

So, anyone arriving is either a generational ship with a population looking for a new home planet or an AI. Good bye humanity in both cases.

I don't think it is possible to even remotely guess what such visitors might be like - or for that matter if they can travel faster than light - who knows what quantum level stuff might be discoverable - or much else come to that which we don't have the remotest idea about. If we can be sure of one thing it is that whatever is out there is going to keep on piling up mysteries and surprises.

The same goes for any highly 'developed' sentient life.
