> spewing chaff and flares, because of protocol over strange grounds

I kind of like that idea that aliens showed up because from light years away the planet looked empty (no radio emissions). They come into land and "oh shit!" realize they're about to come into contact with some primitive sentient beings.



They came lightyears, yet had no telescopes on board, no radar and no optical instrumentation of any kind.


Maybe they were pirates on the run, still drowsy, waking up from suspended animation?


It was just a fun thought experiment.
