I would think that any species capable of getting to our planet would also have the ability to do so without being caught, or crushed.

Yeah but they aren't getting off that planet, have you seen the size of it. Remember, to install a space elevator they'd first have to launch themselves off of it, I am not a rocket scientist but it doesn't look like it would be happening unless the planet is made of cheese.Â

Hycean planets have been singled out as very favorable for the development of life recently, so not that crazy that this is likely one of them.

Mind that these are worlds covered in water to a depth of hundreds of kilometers, so don't expect to find anything more complex than algae in them (which dimethyl disulfide is a sign of, by the way).
