Did you fall in the shower and hit your head before thinking this? It’s so incredibly dumb on multiple levels.
Voyager 1 isn’t even outside our solar system yet, at the moment of writing this it’s close to 15,200,000,000 miles from our sun, that’s 0.0026 light years.
the closest star to ours is Proxima Centauri, about 4.2 light years away, part of a triple star system called Alpha Centauri. It would take Voyager 1 over 16,000 years to reach it if it was going there, which it’s not.
The first “close” (1.6 light-years) flyby of a star Voyager 1 will have is of Gliese 445, which is 17.1 light years away from us, in 40,000 years.
You seem to think that other stars are right at the edge of our solar system or something, that’s the only thing I can come up with that makes your post make any sense. Just because Voyager 1 is far away from us doesn’t mean it’s close to anything else. It has barely moved in astronomical distances, we will continue to be the closest thing to it for another 20,000 years.

Take your angry hormones outside kid. We’re trying to have a friendly discussion here.
There isn’t any aliens anywhere that we know of so it doesn’t matter. This is a shower thought not a factual paper.
Voyager 1 has been in interstellar space since 2012.
You have a lot of great things to offer this conversation, I’m not sure why all the aggression was needed.
