Ok, so lets say intelligent aliens that can space travel turn out to be real. What do you imagine they would look like and what would their goals be? What planet would they be from?

Honestly I'd expect von Neumann probes. Self-replicating machine intelligences. Given the time scales and energy requirements to send big spacecraft capable of sending organic life as we know it safely between stars at high relativistic speeds while still working within the known laws of physics, I just don't see alien spaceships as sci-fi depicts being a thing.
