Would be hilarious if it turns out that Russia or China stumbled upon some new physics principle and started developing experimental aircraft based on it (www.theguardian.com)

We have only ourselves really to go off of, but I'm not quite sure that they wouldn't find us particularly interesting. We catalogue all life on Earth; why wouldn't a civilization whom used science and discovery to get to the stars, which likely had a biological catalogue system of it's own in the history of it's scientific development, not be interested in exploring new life? To see what "filters" they might have missed?

I mean maybe they would. I figure if we exist on what might as well be a geological scale from their perspective, we might not warrant too close an observation.
