The only evidence that ETs may be hostile and dangerous is in the mirror. They may be just like us and be coming to a new world to exploit its resources and enslave its people, just like "we" did. Then again, it seems unlikely that that level of technology could be developed without the species getting over its societal greed, hatred, and ignorance quite a while ago.
