First Aliens We Meet May Be Loud and Crying for Help, Scientist Says

A scientist named David Kipping has written a study about what the first aliens we meet might be like.

He thinks they will be very loud and might be crying for help.

This is because things that are easy to see or detect, like big stars or loud noises, often stand out.

He gives examples like the first exoplanets found, which were orbiting pulsars, big cosmic lighthouses that are easy to spot.

He believes that the first alien civilization we detect will likely be in a bad state, like being in decline or having problems, which makes them more noticeable.

This could be similar to how humans might be seen by aliens if we have big problems like climate change.
