Their interest could be the same as ours would be, curiosity and exploration. Although on the developmental scale, a race that was able to travel interstellar distances to our planet might view us as we would look at neanderthals.

Explain, Lance.
General Order 24 - An order to destroy all life on an entire planet.

From Star Trek TOS Episode "A Taste of Armageddon"
Anan 7: Enterprise, this is Anan 7, first councilman of the High Council of Eminiar. We hold your captain, his party, your ambassador and his party prisoners. Unless you immediately start transportation of all personnel aboard your ship to the surface, the hostages will be killed. You have thirty minutes. I mean it, Captain.
Captain James T. Kirk: All that it means is that I won't be around for the destruction. You heard me give general order 24. That means in two hours the Enterprise will destroy Eminiar 7.
Anan 7: Planetary defense system, open fire on the Enterprise!
Planetary Disruptor Bank Officer: I'm sorry, councilman, the target has moved out of range.
After a short time:
Lt Commander Scott: Open a channel, Lieutenant. This is the commander of the U.S.S. Enterprise. All cities and installations on Eminiar 7 have been located, identified, and fed into our fire control system. In one hour and forty-five minutes, the entire inhabited surface of your planet will be destroyed. You have that long to surrender your hostages.
I think anyone would have to be pretty dumb to state as a certainty that there is no such thing as alien life forms.
Me personally, i believe they do exist, in what form im not so sure. Most of the UFO "sightings" i don't believe are genuine, i think a lot of them are hoaxes, a lot can be explained in non ET ways (weather balloons, military aircraft etc) and a number of people will just see what they want to see.
Its possible we have been visited by "little green men", i certainly wouldnt rule that out.
So yeah, i believe....... we are not alone! Whether we'll be able to communicate with alien life forms in my lifetime im not so sure.
We've been discussing interstellar travel and the great distances and the immense amount of time it would take to make these kinds of voyages, but does anyone thing that intergalactic travel is something that is anywhere even remotely feasible? Even for a race far more advanced that us?

I think we can be sure of one thing. If/when they do show up, because of ideas discussed here we're probably not going to have a say in much of the outcome.
After doing some reading, popular science on the subject agrees with our predictions/theories. We likely can't visit them, but if they can travel here we had better become accustomed to the idea that the ball will be in their court regardless.

We still have Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith.
They can steal one of their ships and give them a computer virus on their mothership.
