Just FYI this hasn't happened for at least several billion years so it's not likely to happen in the next 100.

Has it not? Are you sure the bubble isn't just 1 light second away? Anything travelling towards you at the speed of light is not perceptible until it hits you. This is why the ability to accelerate something to FTL speeds would be an unstoppable super weapon and most likely lead to interstellar species destroying one another until only 1 remains. Or at least that's my take.
