I think we would not be able to detect aliens even if they existed because they would be something beyond our boundry of perception. For instance, they (very probably) dont like like us. Second, they can't look like anything else on this earth because otherwise we would mistake them for that object or animal. So clearly, for us to classify an "alien" as an alien, it would have to be something that is clearly distinct from anything else on earth. But then how could we perceive something that does not belong in our dimensions and looks nothing like anything in our existence, and so we can't even imagine what it would possibly look like? Correct?
