    would an alien still have the same moral standards that we have? if so, why?

      Probably not the same but there would probably be a fair bit of overlap. Crossing huge distances to come to Earth would require a high degree of intelligence and cooperation which implies a social species. Likely that means they would have evolved to have empathy and social behaviours just like we did.

      That’s my guess anyway, it’s a fun question to think about.
