As I state on the "Waning Clamshell/another reset to pre-judging”
thread on alt.religion.druid, there are now 283 DNA-based aliens

including deep inside the Earth and the Moon (see that thread
for an exact description).

 I don't believe that there's any aliens here.
 Oh, aliens have sent tech here, for certain.
 When we search for life on distant worlds what we're actually
doing is analyzing light.
 Different elements absorb different wavelengths...
 This is how we can be all but certain of life on a world more
than 100 light years away!
 But, think of this:  We've only been searching for maybe 30 years,
or a little more.
 That's it.
 In a little more than 30 years we went from finding our very first
exoplanet to a very STRONG candidate for a life bearing world...
 When did the earth become detectable this way to other worlds?
 BILLIONS of years ago!
 BILLIONS!
 

How did they accomplish this before we began broadcasting
radio and TV?

So if once AND ONLY ONCE every million years or so some aliens
detect the earth, notice that we're life bearing and sent a probe
to give us a look, there's been 2,0000 alien probes sent toards
us just since The Great Oxidation Event, the planet's first great
extinction event.
 If it's just ONCE every million years, there's been over 60 since
the dinosaurs went extinct...
 There's been two to three since the genus Homo arose -- Humans!
 Again, that's if other civilizations go looking, spot us and send
a probe ONCE every million years...

We at best have only been around for something under a
million years.
This is just a bunch of claptrap, the essense of which
is that humans are too dumb to create civilizations and build
what our ancestors managed to do.
In my very humble opinion.
