I'm not sure aliens would bother bothering with us. Pelting some random guy's house is like throwing rocks at a hive of bees, no good will come of it. I'm sure they've scouted our planet out, this is assuming there are aliens, which I am not convinced there is any possiblity for them, but on the small off chance that there are, their scouts surely have watched our media. They are bound to have watched at least Independance Day, in which we kick some serious "A," as we do in all alien attack movies. It's safe to assume they would know that they don't stand a chance against us! Rock Roll'd!
