And who says aliens are so highly evolved? What makes us so primitive?

We have great difficulty getting to the moon, which on a galactic scale is so close it may as well be touching us. If the aliens have the ability to come here, they must by definition be in some way more advanced than we are.

If you mean their technology, it really isnt beyond our understanding. From the rumors going around we've been able to reverse engineer their technology
|
wait. . what? We went from theoretical aliens to actually having aliens on the planet? How do you know aliens are here? What evidence do you have. What technology do we use today that came from them?

Supposedly all their ships do is run off a type of gravity drive that is basically just a strong magnetic field that cancels out the effect of gravity in close proximity.

1) we have no evidence that we have gotten our hands on any of their ships.
2) we have no evidence that this gravity drive you speak of is what those ships use.
3) a close-effect gravity drive powered vehicle would be a hovercraft, not a spaceship.
4) There's no escaping the laws of physics. Even if you have a non-close effect gravity drive capable of accelerating your vessel to (or beyond assuming you figure out how to warp spacetime) the speed of light, it's still going to take a crapload of energy to do it. In fact it's been estimated that it would take more energy than the entire planet currently uses to warp spacetime. And that's not even delving into the bit about that energy needing to be negative energy. In short, we can't do it. And if some civilization can, then we're back to my original point, that they're more advanced than us.

That doesn't seem that advanced to me.. humans have been fucking with magnets for hundreds of years.
|
And little boys play with matchbox cars. That doesn't mean a 6 year old can go build a real one. Or, put another way, if it's so easy to build a spaceship that can travel interstellar distances quickly and efficiently, why haven't we built one yet?

If you're referring to their supposed telepathy, this doesnt mean they're more evolved than us either

Telepathy? What does telepathy have to do with the alien figuring out how to get here?
