Have you never seen Star Trek? They've yet to come across a single alien that
wasn't humanoid. AND they can all speak English which is possibly another
problem we'd have with communicating across interstellar distances, maybe the
buzzing noise in my head is an alien communication that I can't interpret? The
truth is out there....or not.
Just based on the evidence we have, it would seem unlikely it would resemble
us, except in the matter of intelligence required to figure out communication
technology. In general relativity theory, light and gravity waves travel at the
speed of light. Telepathy has never been scientifically demonstrated in any
reliable way, and therefore were such a thing to exist, we do not know what
speed it might travel. The nature of consciousness as a measurable, defined
entity is also unknown as a constituent of everything. All we know is it is
present when we have experiences, because its definition is tied to experience.
It is the common value of all experience, but whether consciousness is a common
value of objects when they are not experienced, is unknown.
So far in our knowledge of the universe, there seem to be extraordinary
barriers to both travel and communication over long distances. At the speed of
light it takes about 8 minutes for NASA to communicate with its rovers on Mars.
When we look into the night sky, looking at starts and galaxies, we are looking
years, tens of years, hundreds of years, thousands of years, millions and
billions of years into the past. We see nothing as it is now, only what we
experience now which happened long ago.

There's the possibility that there are other humanoids within the Milky Way.
However, they may not have the capability to transmit their greetings to us or
the rest of the galaxy.
Or, they may be transmitting through other mediums besides radio waves to
communicate--such as through telepathy. If the universe is based on
consciousness, then it is possible for sentient beings to communicate through
consciousness instantaneously throughout the entire universe.
Hmm, I'm a sentient being and I cannot communicate instantaneously with anyone
- let alone across the universe - and I have never received telepathic
communication either from my fellow humans or from aliens. And to the best of
my knowledge neither has anybody else.

The third option - and the one I will put money on - is that telepathy is
impossible anyway and we therefore cannot use it as evidence either for or
against alien life.
Consciousness can be considered as the data bits that create the virtual
reality that we live in, and that enable conscious beings to access the entire
cosmic data bank--the unified field in TMO speak. These are not my ideas, but
are from Tom Campbell, an author of a book that attempts to unify the ideas of
philosophy and science, particularly physics.
I've watched a few of his physics clips on youtube and he has a solid grasp of
the subject - as you would hope given his background - the trouble is he goes
leaping off into unfounded fantasies and wild extrapolations without offering
any evidence other than that he thinks it's possible, and then only according
to the way he interprets things.
As I outline above there is a serious problem with the idea of transgalactic
telepathy. He is also a standard bearer for remote viewing which is another
mysterious claim that has no convincing evidence. Both things would be easy to
prove so why doesn't he? Theorise then test. That's the way it works.
I suppose you could say that channellers are receiving instantaneous messages
from aliens but they lack all credibility. It all boils down to their being no
action at a distance, if there was a way round it we would be able to exploit
it here and wouldn't need to wait for aliens to talk to us. Do you agree?
