I'm not sure I believe that aliens who would have to be capable of interstellar travel, and could somehow transport matter at either FTL speeds or through some form of wormhole, would need to use radio signals at all. Why would they zap themselves here and then send a radio signal back home that would take years and years and years. The only reason technologically advanced aliens would use radio signals is if they wanted to talk to us.
There are also several reasons that an alien race would want to visit Earth.
Technology accelerates and humans may very well find methods of interstellar travel in the next several centuries. Keeping an eye on the neighbors would be a good reason.
The search for life. Biodiviersity is a part of the wealth of any nation. With advanced technology aliens could gather biodiversity from this planet and leave it relatively untouched. They could increase their own biodiversity without harming life here.
Mapping the galaxy. Scientists on Earth are looking at everythingthey can. I imagine intelligent beings from another planet/s would do the same. Looking for new resources and habitats and perhaps stumbling across life on Earth.
All that good stuff.
