1) saying this is a wrong behavior requires an assumption that friendly aliens are just coming to borrow a cup of sugar and not a threat.
2) i would fully expect anything living that was entering the atmosphere to be destroyed. the threat of contamination, disease and unknowns and potential swift destruction of the human race and possibly everything living on the planet that it might bring is also a concern.
3) i seriously doubt that any life thats intelligent enough to find a way across the universe to come visit hasn't pondered the question of the consequences of just showing up unannounced, the consequences of what harm they could cause with contaminates, what harm might come to them from contaminates here etc.
that being said.. the odds of other life in the universe existing at all, is impossibly small. the odds of intelligent life existing is beyond impossibly small.
