It's so obvious that we are not alone in the Universe (whatever that is) ... but, if Darwin were right, we are probably unique .... but just thinking of the number of galaxies that we know about, and given the constants and patterns in the universe, and the fact that we are made of the stuff of the universe, there must be other life forms .... even in our own little galaxy (little, even tho' we on Earth are 30,000 light years from the galactic core) there is quite possibly abundant life. But to receive a visit from other life forms, given that the speed of light is a universal constant .... I don't know about that.
Has anyone considered that if other life forms arrived on Earth, they might be so different that we would not even recognize them as life, even if they sat on our laps as we took our morning dump .... but, if that were the case, they might not even recognize us as "life" ... particularly on a Sunday morning after a night at the bar.
Eric, what you wrote reminded me of a short sci-fi story years ago about an alien space ship landing at an airport on earth - all the big-wigs were waiting and the space-ship landed in a puddle on the airstrip and all the aliens drowned.

Sounds neat .... wasn't there a space fleet in Hitchhiker's Guide that was swallowed by a dog ...
I remember reading one where the other life forms in the universe put a force field around the solar system to prevent humans getting out and infecting the cosmos ....
What the hell is going on with the Accy Web? At one time, this was a great site to find was going on around the borough and for semi-exiles such as myself it was essential reading. We had everything from local gossip through to the latest roadworks and on to the political buffoonery of the council. The postings made great reading...everything from the likes of AB with all his linguistic eloquence through nurse Lettie with her cold, clinical diagnosis. How long is it since I have read one of their postings?
But what do we now get? Nowt but cat lovers, conspiracy theorists and political crackpots such as Mancie. Oh, I forgot - idiots running up and down threatening to assassinate the moderators. Please, please, please if there are to be threads such as this one, can we stick it in a separate section? Call it "Lunatics Corner" or whatever...I don't care...but please can we stick the knuckleheads and the oddballs and all their rantings in one place so the rest of us can safely avoid exposure to this nonsense.
I understand that you are frustrated that Womans Weekly is no longer available south of Watford, but some of us are interested in things other than the local W I .
