Well if they use some kind of quantum entanglement transmission, how

So far our RF cone extends 100 light years behind us ( >0
Quite a catch for a random alien in our galaxy to be at the receiving
end, anyway if by chance some random alien picked up our signal which
would only last as long as he stays inside the cone, then he has to
compute where to reply, he probably would send something like, "Sorry
we're busy right now, please call back later".
So besides SETI attempts, what would be our best chance to detect ET life?
At least, i think they should emit low amounts of infrared (You've got
to stay warm in winter, right), some kind of heat signature, but to
see something you must be inside their cone, what do you think ?
I tend to think along these lines:

Extraterrestrians can be all around us right now, and we just don't
notice them. That's what I tend to think.
