In fact, if these aliens have anything on the ball, they already know we're 
here.  Consider these things:

Heavily settled areas of earth are lit up like a Xmas tree at night, to say 
nothing of Interstate highways.  If they approach from the dark side of earth 
they're sure to see it.

There have been radio transmissions for one hundred years.  These too can be 
detected and heard from space.

Atomic power and nuclear test explosions.  They have set off blast light that 
has continued on out into the ether.

Unless he is advocating we bury everything under ground, use only fiber optic 
cables for all communications and don't move around at night, they have spotted 
us.

In which case it might be wise to try to contact them.  If hostile, they would 
know we suspect they are there.  If friendly, they might be convinced that we 
are not just apes with technology, but reasoning beings that accept the 
possibility of intelligent life in the Universe besides ours and the need to 
get along with it.

Unless they just barge onto the planet, they are sure to scout it out with 
probes or scouts.

Maybe the came, they saw and they left because they didn't like what they saw. 
Maybe we are so ass backward when compared to other civilizations that they 
think we're a lost cause,
