BTW, why would they need to come from a separate galaxy and not one of the billion star systems within our own galaxy?

What is peak travel speed necessary to travel from the nearest galaxy to our planet?
Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy is the closest galaxy to our solar system at about 70,000 light-years. So, really fast.
Quote:
In Star Trek, perturbations of the space-time continuum are fundamental to faster-than-light (FTL) travel and are often depicted as "ripples" or "disturbances" in the fabric of space. These perturbations are used deliberately to move ships, but, when unintended, can create dangerous spatial anomalies or, frequently, enable time travel.
Key Aspects of Space-Time Perturbations and Travel:
- Warp Drive (Controlled Perturbation): Starships travel by creating a "warp bubble" that intentionally distorts the space-time continuum, compressing space in front of the vessel and expanding it behind. This allows the ship to move faster than light without technically accelerating through space, thereby avoiding relativistic time dilation.
- Temporal Distortions/Rifts: These are, severe perturbations or ruptures in the spacetime continuum, often characterized by tachyon emissions. They can cause ships to travel forward or backward in time.

Depends on how much time you got on your hands.
Instead of nearest galaxy let's go with the nearest star. With current technology we can be cooking burgers on a beach near Proxima Centauri in a cool 76,000 years.
If we can match the speed of light its 4.2 years but nobody has a theory on how to do that
Our own sun is 8 light minutes away. If it exploded now, we would not know it for another 8 minutes

The concept of alien visitors are so far beyond logic it's amazing how many people nerves ask the relevant questions
Interstellar travel
99.9% hidden among us except when they're spotted being patently obvious
Technologically superior by a very large margin, yet choose to just survey us without detection (allegedly for decades)

Thousands of years ago, stories were told of strange creatures called dragons over the distant mountains. Then we traveled there and found no dragons. Hundreds of years ago, stories were told of strange sea creatures able to take down whole ships over the water's horizons. Then we sailed all the seas and found there were no such sea monsters. Now we laugh at those superstitious and gullible people of the past, fooled by fanciful stories. But at the same time, we look beyond the space horizon and believe stories of fanciful creatures out there just beyond our perception. We are no less gullible than the superstitious of old. I will remain skeptical until someone stops telling i will be amazed at what's coming. Just show me the evidence you have on hand right now and I'll decide if I'm amazed. Until then, I will be skeptical of your fanciful stories.
