And if space aliens want to visit us, will they be able to fly through the satellites without crashing?
 
Currently there are approximately 2465 artificial satellites orbiting the Earth and 6216 pieces of space debris as tracked by the Goddard Space Flight Center. Over 16,291 previously launched objects have decayed into the Earth's atmosphere.
We have launched probes to other planets that flew through the satellites without crashing. The chances of crashing are low, yet NASA might have used some satellite tracking programs(I don't know for sure) to prevent their equipment from crashing. With some careful mathematics and satellite tracking, aliens will be able to fly through the satellites without crashing.
