Yes, if you believe that consciousness exists in all forms of matter in the universe. Perhaps it's not necessary to have intelligence in the form of humanoids. With that new assumption, the Sun can be considered a form of consciousness or intelligence. If that is the case, there are trillions and trillions of stars in the observable universe that can be considered conscious entities. A star by itself carries valuable information relating to its composition , age and potential for carrying earthlike planets which give the possibilities of hosting humanoids similar to human beings on earth.
The message from ETs that scientists are looking for are contained in the starlight observed which shows how the star got started in relationship with the other stars during the Big Bang.
