Presuming they exist, we (humans) should organize formal public efforts to definitively "contact" these beings and commence a dialog with them openly.
The reality is there should be both public and private efforts to contact non-human intelligence.
Why?
Because the future, our future, humanity's future for better or worse is likely tied to understanding our place in the universe.
Who are we? Why are we here? Where did we come from?
Humanity’s evolution must continue or we likely die off like 95% of all the other species of life that ever existed on the planet.
The infinite positives outweigh the few potential negatives. Looking at the acceptable risk factors, if we accept the probable notion, that one or more non-human intelligences already know humans exist, and they have known for quite a while. One would think if they wanted or needed to eradicate us, it would be well within their capabilities. Since we are still here, that concern should be pushed well into the background if not eliminated entirely.
Specifically, if we are to evolve to our next level of existence, the basic question “Are we alone?” needs to be answered publicly one way or the other. If for no other reason, so our academia isn’t wandering around unguided and overly concerned about divisive and meaningless earthly regional issues that, stunt our growth and understanding of the universal reality. The best and brightest among us need to be weighing in on this issue in the light, fully transparent, instead of being thrown into the paranormal realm where it’s devalued, ridiculed, and dismissed.
If we continue to lie to ourselves or stick our heads in the sand humanity will never reach our maximum potential individually and collectively and will be trapped in the old archaic ways of centuries past. Turning Earth into a planet akin to North Sentinal Island alone, isolated, undeveloped trapped in the eroding bubble of its false reality. Hell FWIW Earth might already be there and the general public just doesn’t realize yet.
Secondly, if this NHBI (non-human biological intelligence) is already in contact with certain governments, departments, military, or corporate entities, a likely probability
Shouldn’t we be more concerned about what the few PTBs are potentially discussing with the NHBIs?
How do we know these discussions are in humanity's best interests, and not just enriching or empowering a few countries or a few corporate entities?
Respectfully I'd rather have Neil deGrasse Tyson communicating with ET, than the CEO or research and development teams at Raytheon.
Not only do we need attempts at communication publicly and privately, but we also need full transparent oversight in what has already been attempted or accomplished historically.
Even if publicly and privately trying to establish contact fails, and we all find out we are alone or the NHBIs can not or do not want to communicate. The sooner we learn the real answer to this age-old question the sooner we can plot humanity’s course to the next age of enlightenment.
It's taking way too long for us to arrive there...
