Babylon 5 first contact makes SO MUCH SENSE with the whole Minbari thing and how we are so new and different hat after we finish our war we become part of some new world order and the galaxy becomes a playground.

I'm pretty sure aliens already know of our exsitence. How about all the UFO sightings over the years? They're just waiting for the right moment to attack...either that or they don't want to mess with a species that is close to self-annihilation anyway. If I were the learder of an alien civilization, I certainly wouldn't want to endanger my people by introducing them to a species that's so unstable.
If an alien race that's much more advanced than us finds us, there is no real incentive to make contact. There are plenty of resources to gather without the unnecessary contact with another race. Therefore, if an alien race finds us (which I believe will happen because of humanities problems and the possibilities of the other race being devoid of 'human' problems), they won't be too much more advanced than us, and we will simply have a short war reflex before we find a way to understand each other.
More advanced then us? beg, bow, scrape, grovel. Take what they've got, slowly work out the best way to take over.
As advanced as us? War!
Less advanced then us? err no brainer, enslavement.
Human nature baby. just look at how we dealt with other "alian" human cultures throughout history

They're going to do research ahead of time to see what humans are like by looking at human media. They'll see the usual portrayals of aliens and be like "THIS is what they think of us?! Screw it, take us home, Zorbulon."
...Probably.

Somehow I think the UN and other world forces would intervene before the government of Bosnia starts attacking alien spaceships.Grayjack72 said:
There's no guarantee they're using the same communications equipment as we are. And even if they did, we wouldn't understand each other, unless they're incredibly advanced.Crimsanon said:
I've always kind of thought that us humans would be the first to find other alien life. It's ingrained into the public conscious that if life were out there, they'd certainly be more advanced technologically than us.
I however, figure it'd be totally possible that if there is indeed alien life on other planets, that we might very well be the more advanced.

I think we will find them. not for a while though. and when we do they will not be evolved enough to communicate so humans bring them to earth as pets and then eventualy it will be like the halo novel where we make colonies on other planets and then a more advanced race will try to destroy us for religious purposes.
Humanity fears what we do not know. Thusly, the reaction will likely be to shoot first and ask questions later, just in case they weren't friendly. They could actually be trying to be diplomatic and form an alliance of technologies or something, and we'll never know because we'll shoot at them, they'll see it as a threat and blow up our planet.
They will find us (again) and be confused as to why we turned their last visit into a "holy book" that we constantly fight over.
I think that by the time we encounter sentient aliens our civilizations will be at equivalent stages. We will have initial skirmishes but it will end in peace. Then we learn their language, earn their trust and breed with their females, over a period of centuries our two races shall become one.
We'll take like 10 years to make sure its not a hoax and within these time our alien visitors will say fuck this and leave without throwing away their paper plates.
They better do it soon because either way we are going to kill ourselves before they get a crack at us.
Most likely? Initial hostilities and suspicion, hopefully treaties signed soon after. Of course they could be so far ahead of us that they treat us like ants, small insignificant beings that mean nothing.
