Well when I think about the universe is expanding faster and its speeding up at a certain pace, It makes me think that even with FTL travel we would never even run into some life because we just couldnt catch them. That goes both ways even life thats out there looking might never see us.

I also dont see any reason that they cant be just coming in from a different dimension, Instead of traveling the long distances

And how exactly would the military accomplish that rather fantastic feat, I dare ask?

How do you jam any frequencies?  That's not hard.

Since that would have to be accomplished world wide, yes it is. You didnt think that one through, I believe.

ok let me re-phrase...do you think it far more likely we 'could' be visited by a planet 1000 LY away as opposed to 10000 LY away? I personally think that the difference in distance at least from 1000-10000 is negligable in the grand scheme of things.....we or they can either travel the stars in good time or not, whether the car journey is 100miles or 200 miles matters little.

Nah, mate, these distances are not "Blocks" they are light years. Difference between 100 light years and 200 light years? 9,461,000,000,000 km or 5,878,000,000,000 miles is the distance covered in one light year. That is even going to make quite an impact on FTL, and render most of space as unreachable. Some things will be achievable, some not, but we have to get the technology up and running first off.

surely even with FTL, the difference is fairly academic from most people's point of view, whether it's 1000 light years or 10000.

Maybe if you are talking wormhole or some other claim but it would have a marked impact on physical travel, as we know it. Without imagination, it is a noticeable difference I would say.

If one subscribes to panspermia, it would almost have to.  OTOH, we have yet to find intelligent life here.

Unless 84001 ir re-evaluated yet again with yet another conclusion. Maybe we can blame it for the ETH'ers LOL.

How the heck ya been mate! Hows the health, and is that daughter still doing an excellent job of keeping you in line!

Would it, though? Surely it'd be academic if one got in a spaceship to travel to a star 1000 light years away , or sent a message there hoping to get a reply, as to whether you sent one 10,000 l.y. From the point of view of anyone hoping to get a reply, it really wouldn't make any difference at all would it.
