I ask myself the same question all the time. So you supposedly have this super advanced space-travelling civilization, and they’re somehow interested in us, who aren’t even able to colonize another planet yet, and are destroying our only one planet in the meantime. We’re like monkeys in a zoo to them. Why should we be interesting for a much more advanced civilization? At best, they’d monitor our “progress” as a civilization from afar, and maybe make contact once we’ve become a Kardashev type 2 or 3 civilization. If or when that happens. Still a long way. We haven’t even ensured that our home planet is safe from us. Or maybe they want specific resources from Earth. But then we’d get much more visitors, who also wouldn’t be friendly I guess. So I think it’s highly unlikely, which means I also think this is being staged, intended to gain more funding.
People love seeing monkeys in the zoo, the closer the better! I think if we could travel to other planets to check out other life forms we would do it all the time. I don’t believe aliens have come here, but if they exist and could come see us they would totally do it for the same reasons we would want to go see them. Makes sense to me!

You realise we do keep animals in zoos?
