This has been discussed in movies like Arrival and Contact.
How would we learn their language? Where to start? And how would we know they're saying something and not just making noise?

What makes you think they'll say something? I think any more advanced forms of life have already mastered how to keep silence and peacefulness; of course, if they came with peace...

Sure it may be they're fine just on their own, like trees. But you can't give up hope using only simple logic right? I mean that would be inhuman.

Have you heard about this logical puzzle: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hardest_Logic_Puzzle_EverI've got several exercise-books in logic, and this task is there, but I haven't solved some previous tasks to get to it. So, if you'll find a clue don't tell me, ok? Thanks. Btw, W. Quine worked on this question; it's about as ontologically relativity so thr indeterminacy of translation /aka the gavagai problem/. Check 'em out, it'll worth to!

I guess the best of the best strategy is to destroy them for good. I mean it. A human must be a king of the universe, not them Then there's just the small problem of knowing you've destroyed them all. And whether their policy is to become pissed off by killing even just one. Think african honey bees. But I think if one is discovered by us it's either precisely its intention, or its a total accident. In the first case its intention is not to destroy us. Since that could be done by them, or even just him, in a blink of an eye.

So, it guess we need to study us, humans, better firstly, then to create anti-anti-human killing weapon to annihilate anything that is not a human. And to push the button =)

they are unlikely to be all that different from us... inter-planetary travel can even occur for natural reasons, but our world was seeded, life is designed we pre-exist the universe itself
