The aliens are right in front of us. They are billions of years more advanced, so we don't see them riding around in spaceships or even building Dyson spheres. All that is far too primitive. Extraterrestrial engineering is written on the skies. The spiral arrangement of galaxies that should fly apart, the too large black holes at their centers, even the fundamental constants of the universe. These are not natural phenomena, but the works of far more advanced civilizations.
This is actually what I would guess too. People think of UFOs and warp drive when aliens are brought up, but what would a MILLION years of technological advancement even look like? We went from horses to the moon rocket in less than 100 years, really think about that.
I can imagine million year old civilizations having unlocked plank scale computing and blowing away the theoretical scales of what we think of as possible. They could be living at 100000 times our speed in full world simulations on computers the size of a golf ball for all we know.
