It's very possible that they won't perceive reality or maybe even time in the same way that we do. Depending on how their "brains" are wired and what they use for sense organs, they may acknowledge light spectrums and electromagnetic fields we can't. An example would be how because of eye location on the head, certain species of shark use a special sense organ in their nose to locate prey when it gets close to their mouth. Imagine a form of life that "sees" exclusively in that manner and how their brains evolved to understand reality based on that information.

It will be all out war!
There is absolutely no reason for superior/advanced beings to want to come here unless they were looking for natural resources. It will be a "4th of July" epic struggle where our military will fold & we resort to Vietnam/Taliban like guerrilla tactics just to survive.
We'll give them a good showing by being absolutely ruthless, until I betray you all because of the hundreds of green/blue skin overly-developed beautiful females with punk-rock haircuts that they use to wear me down or my Viagra runs out.

Under our conception of economics, yes. But aliens are going to be weird.
Imagine a cybernetic species that views experience as currency. They might get everything they want out of us just by meeting us.
Two dangers tho. They might be so weird, their very existence is antithetical to us. They might be just like us.
I would betray and rat out everybody for my own kingdom in the new order, be the inside man for our glorious new rules. PRAISE THEM!
