There are plausible conjectures that we are most likely alone in our galaxy and will not make contact with another civilization for at least a few million years.

If it had been a probe it is already a dead probe. Otherwise we would have picked up something with SETI.



Still could fetch some useful tech if it could be intercepted in that case. Even the "oh you can do THAT" effect would really help.


Intercepting it is next to impossible due to the Delta-V. Capturing it and bringing it back is even harder.
