Looks more like a sperm penetrating an egg, which could be interpreted as saying F U.............
If it says “what are you doing for lunch?” I think it would be prudent to ignore it.

The book is called “The Three-Body Problem” by Cixin Liu. It deals with this very issue and the alien civilization cooks up a weapon to deal with Earth civilization. Very easy read considering that the author is Chinese and presumably is not a native English-speaker.
Everybody has the Star Trek idea of an alien; a guy in a rubber mask with different eyebrows than us. The idea that we’d be able to communicate with mind melds or universal translators is ludicrous. Suppose they don’t have eyes or voices. Suppose they communicate with pheromones or skin color changes. The idea that we could study the language of a species with probably few or maybe zero concepts in common is ludicrous. Suppose they aren’t even born, but instead they form, like crystals. Suppose they never die because their entire life is at the atomic level. What would they want to say to us? We can’t even communicate with whales and dolphins and everything indicates they are potentially as smart as us.
Yeah, by all means keep your eyes peeled for them. But let’s not try any harder to attract attention than we are now. Please.
tl;dr;
Obviously No!
First of all, how would we know for sure it was really from aliens without reading it and extensive analysis?
Second, how can we know to delete it without reading it first? The question presumes a higher authority on the issue of deletion. Higher authorities are to be damned! Especially if they prove their invalidity by directing deletion without reading. Any higher authority which directs such is self-evidently invalid.
May God Damn Higher Authorities!
Does anyone actually think that a message will be written in good, grammatical English, in a Word document?
It will take a lot of time and effort to figure out what the meaning is.
And the human oligarchy stooges have been swallowing the lies and orders--to the UN elite and other world leaders--of the fallen angels/ET's for decades.
Some time back people in the SW US were picking up TV transmissions from 50 years ago...they hit something and bounced back to Earth...

First alien contact will be a lost redneck in a space Winnebago with his family and possibly with a deranged doctor on board.
They agree with Trump. Aliens might be dangerous and need to be vetted. Seti is racist.
Whether or not aliens exist, the taxpayers should not fund SETI circle jerk philosophy.
Earth is the planet of intergalactic SPAN origin.
So many messages sent out, hoping for just one phish to bite.
>>We can’t even communicate with whales and dolphins and everything indicates they are potentially as smart as us.
Yep.
Do white blood cells have dreams and ambitions?
It begins to read, “ I am the Minister of Finance for Niburu and seek to deposit 50 million shugulots in a bank account of your choosing, in order to open an account on Earth for Niburu in the amount of 40 million shugulots ($SGLT).....”

47 year old television signals bouncing back to Earth
Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico finds television shows lost in space.
While searching deep space for extra-terrestrial signals, scientists at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico have stumbled across signals broadcast from Earth nearly half a century ago.
Radio astronomer Dr. Venn described how he made the historic discovery after analysing a number of signals originating from the same point in space. “I realised the signal was in the VHF Band and slap bang in the middle of 41-68 MHz. It was obviously old terrestrial television broadcasts, but they seemed to be originating from deep space.” After boosting and digital enhancement the resulting video signals are remarkably clear...
“...we asked NASA if they could point Hubble at the centre of what we’ve named the ‘Bounce Anomaly’. NASA were very keen to help once they had seen our data.” However the $3 billion space telescope was unable to produce any clues as to what the signals are bouncing off. One theory is a massive cloud of asteroids is acting like a mirror in space reflecting radio signals from our past, back to us...
...A BBC team have been working closely with Dr Venn’s team to help recover the signals. BBC Television historian Peter Wells, explained “We now know these are original broadcasts. So far we have recovered about 7 weeks of old television signals from space. Every day in our lab is like traveling back in time. And speaking of which we have just started the digital recovery of signals that contain lost Doctor Who episodes.

The BBC will be archiving all the recordings recovered from space and there are plans to broadcast some of the highlights later in the year.

If there’s no FTL travel and we’re talking interstellar distances, then 1) the signals would have originated centuries ago and 2) it would take an amazingly paranoid race of beings to purposely broadcast malicious signals on the off-chance that they are received by a sufficiently advanced race to receive and interpret them and tech similar enough that they could engineer the means to contaminate it. Even if those narrow parameters were reached, then there’s also the possibility of a race advanced enough to catch the malicious code and negate it, after which you have the risk that you’ve made enemies of people you didn’t even know existed.
Given the low probability of success in that scenario, would such a paranoid race risk building what is essentially a beacon in space that would, if their first plan went awry, essentially be a road map to finding them for some other malicious space-farers?
