Why presume that aliens who might threaten us will be intelligent?

Imagine intergalactic worm-like creatures — long hollow tubes that swallow and assimilate matter they randomly encounter.

Imagine these creatures can grow to enormous length, but are narrow, so they are almost impossible to see by telescope.

Imagine such a creature is light sensitive. It detects targets based on reflected light.

Imagine it could eat its way through Earth.
