If aliens have that advanced system to get them to Earth from wherever they came, wouldn't thay just take us over if they are advanced that far and have superior weapons? Also if aliens were here why do they want to hide from everyone, wouldn't "coming out" be better for them as well as for humans too?:shrug:
Cosmic!
This would have been a KILLER post in "pseudoscience". Is it OK to continue this train of thought here? To me, this mere speculation stuff is what the imagination is all about. I LOVE it!
Kudos to you for an awesome thought nonetheless.

Incidentally, from the perspective that you have approached this curiosity from, the answer is obvious. But let me play Beelzebub's advocate here for a sec.
In order for this speculative curiosity to have any real weight, we both have to be in agreement that:
premise (a) Aliens are superior to human kind and are indeed, because of our human perceptions of their capabilities, more so akin to what we would in a comic book sense imagine them as "super heroes" or "lesser gods".
If this were the case, these aliens are really more so a projected evolutionary personification of a human being.
but what if that's not the case at all? What if we were to dispense with the idea of "advanced life forms" altogether and rather considered them to be parallel to us in linear evolution?
What if (as I have read so many scientists with logical predisposed aversions to their seeming impossible journeys to earth because of distance) the "trip" to earth for them is no real distance trip at all?
Perhaps what we perceive or imagine as an indispensable accompaniment to them with respect to distance, namely their technology, is in reality a natural extension of their being.
Perhaps their natural course of evolution is one that leads to a self contained stationary superiority. Thus the aim of their evolution would be one that in reality departs from the basis that is motion and perhaps we ourselves are that which they mistakenly perceive as the enlightened.
Perhaps they themselves marvel as much at our command over the physical dimensions as we speculate about the mysteries of their fanciful travels.
We (human beings) are always thinking in terms of the preponderance for tactile methodologies that we ourselves can achieve just as we are naturally.
What if natural to them is like east from west with respect to what is natural for us?
What if in reality they themselves are greatly intimidated by what they perceive as our violent superiority as a species because they themselves have struggled in observation possibly for hundreds of years just to comprehend what is so guttural and natural to us?
There are so many possible reasons why they have not made themselves known.
(This is presented with absolute speculation of course understanding that there is positively ZERO proof that these aliens even exist)
