Intersting but I don't believe we will find aliens, how ever I believe aliens will visit the earth, hard to explain why.

The question is why a species of alien, with ships far more advandced than our most impresive shuttle, would bother to visit?

weird reasons... maybe we'd have a resource they need/want, and can't find in many other places... kinda like the europeons during the so-called 'Age of Discovery'.

Or, like the Spanish, they wanted to conqor lands, find treasure, and spread their faith to the natives.

i find it hard to believe that there's any resource or treasure on earth that a civilization that can travel the stars would be interested in. the only reasons i can think of are: scientific curiosity (as in, anthropology, cultural studies or... xenobiology)
they get off on conquering for no real reason
they are religious crazies and want to convert/destroy us
they just want to be our friends

Or maybe they're simple colinist, who didn't take the time to determine if sentient life existed on Earth, but simply came over because our planet could support them

But... wouldn't that make them... you know... pretty stupid? ^_^;
Zorg: We have detected a planet that suits our needs. We have checked the planet's orbit, tilt, neighbourhood, atmosphere, chemical composition, structure, surface area, climate and geological stability... and we checked the star's age, composition, frequency of flares, spectrum, and brightness. Everything checks out! So we can now mount a very expensive and dangerous mission across hundreds or thousands of light years to colonize it.
Gorf: Sounds good, Zorg... hey, wait a minute! Did you check for signs of life on the planet? Particularly intelligent life that might object to our colonizing or terraforming, possibly violently, and maybe even ruin the whole mission?
Zorg: Feh. Too much work. I'm sure it's cool.
Gorf: ... ... ... Awesome! Let's launch!
Any alien species stupid enough to come to another planet with the intention of taking it over without bothering to check and see if someone else's there is probably too stupid to even figure out how to build ships. ^_^;

Unless they figured we were just a form of non-intelegent Apes

Wouldn't that also make them pretty stupid?
In order to come to that conclusion, they would have to detect us, but somehow miss the cars, boats, planes, skyscrapers, thousands of kilometres of roads, canals, hectares of cultivated fields, satellites, space station, interplanetary probes, EM signals and the lights at night.

possible... Maybe they had scanned the planet early in Homo Sapains history, that we did seem like unintelligent animals. Think about it. Distance traveled in space can cause information to become obsolete pretty quickly.
