Perhaps everything goes in super slow motion to our concept of time at the speed of light much the same way as astronauts being able to travel way out into space, come back and there being a 40 minute time difference.

Granted it IS fiction... I still claim one can't say it's bunk either. You don't need to see where you're going to fly planes or manuever submarines. Radar and sonar work great, and why couldn't something larger distance work in space?

Maybe they find us to be of the same ilk. Perhaps that's why they left in the first place?
