This is all tied in with the enigmatic Sumerian texts on which the Biblical Creation account was based. Sitchin's theory was astronauts had already visited the Earth around 3500 B.C. I uploaded a pic of one example of some of the strange archaeological relics of this period.
As to communicating with other "civilizations" out in the wide yonder I take the sobering view of probability:
"Advanced civilisations may tend to destroy themselves, through war or environmental catastrophe. If not, a disaster like an asteroid strike might wipe them out"
On the other hand some might remember the intial discovery of the Pulsar signal....

Apparently, Tesla had many views on this:
I can readily demonstrate that with an expenditure not exceeding 2000 horse-power signals can be transmitted to a planet such as Mars with as much exactness and certitude as we now send messages by wire from New York to Philadelphia.."
