on the topic of communicating with them do you guys think the "wow signal" was an snca nothingburger or maybe something important
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wow!_signalexplanation for why it was significant if you're an adhdcaca: 1420 MHz is the frequency emitted by hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, so it's widely believed that any intelligent civilization seeking to contact others would use this frequency knowing that somebody (like us) would be listening there
the signal was an extremely narrowband emission occurring at exactly this frequency, so people think it might have been aliens or algx.
