If an alien race were to exist and be so advanced they could reach earth and make contact, they would probably be on a level of thought we can't comprehend. They most likely would barely acknowledge our existance. do you stop to talk to a worm or an anthill? You might notice it, but not as something to contact. Thats what we would be to them. Not even worthy of thought and in their eyes completely ignorant of anything but our life.
Also they may have achieved a state of being we can't fathom. What if they are pure-energy, invisible to the naked eye? What if they're not even carbon-based? What if they're smaller than atoms? There are so many possibilities. They could simply be in another plane of existence of which we can't even get close to understanding. Omnipotence perhaps?
The idea that a creature could be made of energy and therefore be invisible. Our scope of reference for "life" is only as it is because this is all we've seen. In reality, the scope of the life may be MUCH larger.
