What will ETs be like?

Ha-haaaaaa!
Pretty sure I've dated one of her "species" before... Barely escaped with my life.
The reason ET’s visit earth is to see what their creations are up to.
They’ve been messing with the apes for millennia, the 2nd chromosome shows their doctoring. Gobelki Tepe was an indoctrination center, taught farming, animal herding, food storage to hunter gathers. It is 10-12 thousand years old, created by the survivors of the Previous civilization to pass on the fundamentals.
Noted, ET’s have existed throughout our history, sightings documented in Cave art to Da Vinci. Clearly after nuclear testing began the sightings have increased.
We are a fecund species, our violent animal cores hard to manage with an increasing potential to do harm to anyone who arrives here on earth.
Fittingly, the planet selected for these experiments cleanses itself every so often through solar electromagnetism mostly. The poles shift, violent weather ensues with enough force to throw a 15 ton mammoth on its kester breaking its pelvis and hind legs, flash freezing it with a mouthful of flowering plants.
We like to make up stories, like the Bible genesis passage ‘be fruitful and multiply, replenish the earth’. So it goes, ho hum

Even Jesus is creeped out by those guys!

And yes, the store apparently thinks UFO mags belong in the "religion" section.
Future historians are going to scratch their heads bald at the age we live in.

My mom was an extra-terrestrial so I'm eligible for dual citizenship.
I just remembered aliens already visited us in the '70s. 
They didn't have much of a vocabulary though.

Why not? Make as much sense as anything else. Perhaps more.Actual photo taken by your humble correspondent at a well-known book store...

Fermi paradox
But also consider...
The only life proven/known (without the tin foil hat disclaimer "that they tell us about") is carbon based and here on our rock. We have a large moon that regulates our rotation, our orbit (somewhat), and tidal forces which gives us stable weather patterns. We exist at proximity to a fairly warm but small and stable star to allow liquid water. We have geo-thermal activity and magnetic protection from radiation. We have protective giant neighbors in Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune that tend to suck up a lot of threats that enter our star system. Our solar system is located in a pretty uneventful area of our galaxy. We are simply the latest version of species to inhabit the surface; after many mass extinctions. Not to mention that we may or may not be able to eradicate ourselves.
Now line all that up and take a guess as to the odds that the same or very similar circumstances have come to pass at the same time as we exist. Then consider the already mentioned dilemma of distance, time and technology. I firmly believe we are not the only ones; but that doesn't mean the others still exist or do yet.
None of this even touches on subjects like silicon or arsenic or another possible basis for biogenisis.
There is also the possibility that some really smart folks are starting to repeat a lot; that we are in a simulation. So who created it?
There are so many other way, way, way far out possibilities, but my flame suit is at the cleaners today.
Live long and prosper.
