Extraterrestrial Civilizations
According to the data received from psychics, channelers, remote viewers, prophets and abductees.

Do you see the problem there?
Until there is actual physical evidence, and not just someone's testimony, it's not likely to be taken seriously.

The impressive planet inventory take by NASA’s Kepler space observatory, combined with other research, has taken us down the road to concluding that, on average, every star in the Milky Way galaxy has at least one planet. What’s more, Earth-sized planets are far more common than giant Jupiters.
Planets exist there, and we do not have the ability to observe planets of our size; therefore, it is entirely possible that the civilizations described above do, indeed, occupy planets akin to our own both in size and and orbital zone. As well, considering the close proximity of some of these stars (“
α Centauri” is our nearest solar neighbor), it is entirely reasonable to expect them to have found or heard of us in exploring their most immediate, solar surroundings (upon, of course, acquiring the ability and desire to do so).
Nevertheless, It’s not too early to think about the a millennium-long project to visit and colonize the star system. I cannot imagine a bolder step for the evolution of mankind. The project will cost untold trillions of dollars spent across many generations. But it will establish us as an interstellar species, that is for all practical purposes, immortal. This would be an evolutionary step as profound as when Earth’s first sea creatures ventured onto land.
However, it should not come as any surprise that the people,
Homo sapiens, that exterminated
Homo erectus and the Neanderthals would instill certain reservations within prospective visitors and motivate them to maintain a general ignorance as to their existence among that people.
Could intelligent life be there too? Unfortunately, in a lousy coincidence, the star system is too far south to be observed by the powerful Arecibo radio antenna in Puerto Rico, or the new Allen Telescope Array in northern California, that can easily look for any artificial radio transmissions.
