A space travel is not like going from New York to Canada in a train. Space traveling implies several consequences which will hurt the travelers. For example, staying in outer space for about a year distorts the human body, diminishes its inmune system to dangerous levels, it causes in it a faster osteoporosis, it leads to disorientation and other mental troubles, and more. If a human wants to go to a planet in another solar system with the current consequences of space traveling, what it will land in such another planet is a vehicle with a mass of flesh drop on the floor of it as jello.
So, we cannot expect that people from other planets won't have similar consequences in their traveling. Of course they will have such a problem which is matter suffering changes by the changes in their environment. The laws of physics rule over that foolish imaginations of many.
Unless you think that such alliens are not made of matter. 
Star Trek is a fantasy like Relativity theory or Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs story, you just cannot lean on such fantasies to discuss the possibilities of alliens coming to earth from other galaxies.
Regardless of speed, the travelers and their machines will be indeed affected by the traveling, and we are talking of trillions of miles of traveling taking years of motion through space.
You can believe in Star Trek fantasies if that is your desire, but such fantasies won't justify at all the idea that such UFO's come from other solar systems or similar ideas.

Wow...did that make any sense? I think not. First of, you cannot apply standards of physics, as we know it, to extraterrestrials. Certainly, if there are beings capable of traveling through the vastness of space...their knowledge of what humans call physics goes far beyond our comprehension at this time. Alien space travelers may not be bound by the normal laws of physics.
Space travel does not impy any consequences. What consequences? We do not know how traveling through space at high speeds will affect the human body. Sure, we can conduct tests and such here on Earth...but once again, it really proves nothing except for our limited knowledge of space travel. It will take high speeds to move us through space in a timely matter. However, at this time, we are unable to accomplish this feat. The first two probes launched from Earth in the 1970s (Voyager One and Voyager Two), were sent on courses that would eventually take them out of our solar system. And these two probes have only now reached the outer edge of our solar system, ready to punch through into the vastness of the Milky Way Galaxy around us.
Alien travelers from space may not be restricted by human frailties of space flight. All life as we know it (from amoebas, flowers, bugs, monkeys, humans, etc) is carbon-based. Alien beings may not be carbon-based, but perhaps sulphur-based or silica-based life forms. These type of life forms may have certain protections from any of the rigors of space travel.
Do you actually believe that the Theory of Relativity is a fantasy? Geez...you really need to go back to school.
