As you say,
I imagine any ET race would be as wary as we would be of 'space men'. The physiology of 'typical' aliens is quite interesting though. It seems to be univesally accepted but has no definitive source. The biology would be generally correct too. Comparing us with our ape ancestors, we look skinny with big round heads and bald. I suppose the 'aliens' could be time travelling observers from the future. We could quite possibly look like that ourselves after a few more million years of evolution. (Some ugly twunts are almost there already!)

My point about "them" being afraid of us is that if they have developed inter-galactic spacecraft, surely we pose no threat with our primitive ways and weapons. The anonymity thing falls short too. How come something that can avoid detection by satellites, radar, sonar and whatever the fuck else we're beaming around is most frequently spotted by fuckwits and inbred Herberts (with an unhealthy interest in sci-fi)??

My sighting;
It certainly wasn't the moon, and I don't think it was venus. Just one of the brighter visible stars. It was a bit freaky that there were no other visible stars due to cloud cover though.
