The aliens are probably in a state of suspended animation.
Today, perhaps, only a few scientists believe that Earth is the only place in the Universe where life in all its diversity exists.
Astronomers regularly discover potentially habitable or at least habitable exoplanets, but humanity still has no evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life.
A study carried out within the framework of the SETI project (search for extraterrestrial life) shows that the probability of the existence of highly developed extraterrestrial civilizations is extremely high, but we cannot make contact with them due to the fact that they are experiencing, for example, climate change .
On distant exoplanets, as well as on Earth, seasons also change, weather conditions are transformed, and, most likely, not for the better.
Probably, extraterrestrial civilizations found themselves in a situation where their planets became practically unsuitable for ordinary life.
To survive a difficult and life-threatening period, progressive aliens can deliberately plunge into a state of suspended animation.
Suspended animation is the temporary slowdown or interruption (short or long term) of biological function so that physiological capacities are preserved.
SETI representatives are convinced that dozens of highly developed civilizations inhabit the Milky Way, with which we cannot make contact because they are asleep.
“Some living organisms have proven that suspended animation helps them survive in extreme conditions,” said Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at SETI. “Representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations, being locked on their own planets, could consciously “hibernate”, waiting for the natural stabilization of climatic conditions.”
Some scientists believe that if humanity does not find a way to stop global warming and does not start the emergency colonization of objects of the solar system, then we will also be forced to resort to hibernation in order to save at least some of our species.
