Maybe it wasn't bad driving (flying), but, instead, a breakdown that forced them to the side of the road (earth). Even the most well built machines eventually wear out and break down.

no machinery works forever, no matter how well maintained, otherwise cars would be getting 500k instead of barely 100k.
if you're making a light-year distant multi-year mission, how many spare parts can you bring?

It's possible that crashed craft are seeds of technology to push humanity into a certain direction, I'm sure sci-fi movies have played with this theme in the past such as Contact. The idea would be a bit like mashing that movie with avatar.

The lack of any material recovered from alleged crash sites should be a clue.
Dig deeper and you might realise that what is being seen in genuine encounters isn't ET flying interstellar spacecraft.

Yeah but could people hundreds of years ago have shone lasers into their eyes as they flew? We can.
Hmm?!

Or clones would be the best choice in my opinion for a one way trip. If the galaxy is the playground, clone it up. There's plenty of space out in space.
