The Royal Society held a Scientific Discussion Meeting on "The detection of extra-terrestrial life and the consequences for science and society" in 2010 but there has been no global agreement on how to handle contact.
Learning how to decipher an alien language or method of communication is likely to be one of the major hurdles that experts will need to consider.
In a recent BBC documentary First Contact: An Alien Encounter, scientists admitted it may never be possible to understand what aliens are trying to tell us.
Dr Alexander Rehding, professor of music at Harvard University, said humans had still not learned how to translate animal communication.
“Whales are a really good study, and they are in some ways the closest thing that we have to aliens here on Earth,” he said.
“Whales are highly intelligent, and their environment is entirely different from ours. The patterns that we hear are purely patterns that we recognise as music, repeated patterns.
“It is a form of vocalising but we don't really know what it's for. Is it music, is it a language? What does it mean? It can give us a sense of how difficult the task at hand is.”
Dr Elliott admitted that deciphering an alien language would be tricky without some kind of extraterrestrial Rosetta Stone.
“Nevertheless, much can be gleaned, without this. Language for intelligent species has a structured system that is multi-layered and has internal structure," he said.
“By identifying any patterns within the signal and calculating how these patterns interact, we will then be able to know if it passes this initial surface structure test for displaying evidence of being language-like.
“If so, we will then be able to move on to identifying internal structures displayed by all known intelligent species.

I stongly disagree, Jacques Vallée did a very deep dive researching this and found the encounters to literally align with the conepts of demonism and not those of any rational advanced physical intelligence. As for impacts in history, there are numerous examples such as the OOPs artifacts and the megiolithic structures. I am a little surprised you seem to claim no impact.
Odd you mention superstition, I sense you dismiss the spiritual out of gand which males the discussion pointless as you come to this with deep bias.
Great
You had to go their...
There may be thousands of technological civilizations just in this galaxy alone, but if there are, then they're too far away to get here. Science fiction writers more likely than scientists.
But I guess if you believe in the myth of man made global warming, and in the myth that electric vehicles have fewer emissions than ICE vehicles, then you can also believe that aliens can visit us (NOT the kind of aliens that we've had 5,000,000 of cross over our southern border in the last two years)
Apparently, they are ordering our political leadership to fatten us up for the eventual harvest.
As the saying go’s “right on”. Traveling in a ship built of matter trillions X? miles to come to a planet filled with 50%
(Dems included) nitwits. Naw
Just make them listen to some Joe Biden speeches and they will quickly flee back to wherever they came from.
...Wasn't the only researcher that is credible.
Yes, those flying machines have been with us throughout history. We're still here and no demonic war with them.
Read "The Andreasson Affair" by Ray Fowler.
Also, three officers who were at Roswell at the time of that crash/cover-up made explicit death bed confessions. I have conversed directly with General Jesse Marcel (ret). It was a physical ship.
Would you like a link to a document that describes an analysis of a crashed IAC?
I have a larger one but you'all are going to have nightmares for weeks.
That is based upon what we know now. Our heavy-duty physics is less than 200 years old. Have you noticed the bizarre things just now coming from the studies of quantum physics? What are the implications of quantum entanglement? We don't know where this leads. Maybe folks "out there" do know.
I here you. 🙂
“Whales are highly intelligent, and their environment is entirely different from ours.
You're kidding, right?
We don't have real scientists anymore. Most are just grant seeking, publicity seeking or ideologically driven scammers dressed in white lab coats.
They are here. They are called “Democrats.”
If aliens are visiting earth there is ZERO to prepare for…we are finished if they desire…
Ask Louis Farrakhan.
The guys at NASA and SETI and Avi Loeb’s Galileo Project are looking “out there” when the “others” (i.e., so-called aliens) are right here, apparently living in a parallel dimension (or at least that the most popular opinion lately in the UFO community).
Absolutely. Science has lost its luster for the very reasons you mention. They are just chasing grant money and, in some cases, fudging their research to get it.
“Face it folks, aliens are not sending us their best.”
Great post—their pilots that crashed the saucers clearly needed more training.
;-)
“Ask Louis Farrakhan.”
The real Black Muslim theorist was Elijah Muhammad—and he claimed that black civilizations currently rule Venus and Mars.
I kid you not.
I do not believe the UFO stuff has a single origin. We seem to observing things that are physical and things that are ethereal. The two may be related, yet they might not be. I suspect we are lumping things into the same intellectual pile that do not actually sort out that way.
