Public announcement of sentient(and possibly advanced) life outside our planet.

[AK-14]

I for one wish for this to happen before I die. I was wondering if anyone else had thoughts or inquiries or info about the topic. I just want to know what everyone thinks. My ultimate goal is to see humankind colonize, but not overtake(nor mine or strip of resources) of a new planet capable of sustaining human life before I die. This is very unlikely, however, one can hope, yes? What do you all want to see happen? Any thoughts or ideas are welcome. =) I just want to see what people think.
