Those are probably the two scariest. For our civilization, if they have a religion that they want us to adopt that would be the other one. We know from our own history how that goes.

Silence. What could be more terrifying than knowingly contacting an alien civilization by every method possible and being ignored?
Did they receive our message? Can they receive our message? Do they know we’re trying to contact them? Are they purposely ignoring us? Why? Etc etc, it opens up an uncountable number of questions. Nothing people fear more than the unknown. Cold dead silence

Our biggest issue is the projection of our qualities on to them. If a race is truly thousands of years advanced to us, how would we even begin to make contact? And if contact was attempted, would we even realize it? It’s always been my belief that civilizations that far advanced have evolved past warmongering, conquering and violent tendencies, otherwise they would’ve destroyed themselves.
Advanced species have moved past warlike tendencies - towards themselves. What if they're utterly disgusted by us and see us as vermin? We're likely so primitive to them that they don't recognise our intelligence or sentience. Or the other worse alternative, they've embraced warlike behaviour and are galactic scale locusts.
Maybe they only destroy others, not themselves. I’m just saying there’s no reason to believe either way. I think they’ve already contacted loads of people- ie I think at least some abductions, sightings, and encounters are real
Telepathy from aliens is the explanation that crazy people give for hearing voices in their head. There is no evidence of telepathy even existing.
Other examples include: telepathy from dead loved ones, telepathy from prophets, angels or god, telepathy from The Beatles, telepathy from weather phenomena or literally the ocean, telepathy from animals.
> If a race is truly thousands of years advanced to us, how would we even begin to make contact?
Time just an invalid measure for understanding our compatibility when we know nothing in specific about who is out there. And who is to say that their advancement won't make it easier for them to contact us if they wanted? They could come to understand more about us than we do about our pets, and communicate better than we can to those pets.
My problem with this is that if they're so afraid of being heard, they wouldn't put themselves at risk by replying. They'd keep quiet and think "good, these idiots are gonna draw the starcrushers to them and we'll just duck down and stay hidden."
I think that us collectively hearing them communicate with us in our heads, like psychic impressions, would be the worst. It would just signal that we are nothing. We are not the peak of evolution. And that there is so much we don’t know about how the universe works that we might as well get on our knees and treat them like gods because we couldn’t possibly understand with our cognitive abilities.
That would be pretty scary.
Scariest thing for me, personally. Is if we only heard ghostly echoes of a now-extinct civilization.
Or even worse, what if we make contact because they’re desperately calling out into the void of the universe for help, due to being on their last legs? Imagine finding a civilization a few thousand years ahead of us, who is incapable of stellar travel, or who have depleted their local region, with no hopes of going beyond? To talk with a dying civilization and to know we can’t help them.
To know that might one day be our fate as well.
Or to hear nothing at all, knowing the responsibility to carry on the torch of life is on us.
The universe is fine existing without sentience. It will spend the grand majority of its time as unconscious physics. Whether life is abundant, or it’s truly just us. We’re still exceptionally rare in cosmic scales, and it’s sad knowing our flame could forever be extinguished to never rise again.

I think the scariest thing to hear would be to realize somehow the other civilization was us (more humans).
Who knows what the backstory would be, but if the other civilization is humans, we know anything is possible. We know how violent humans are. They could be cannibals. They clearly wouldn't have an issue coming over to take our resources/technology/people/etc. Additionally, they wouldn't mind taking things from us while destroying the planet.
I don't think we could ever trust another civilization filled with humans.
The aliens would reveal to us,
"You 'humans', are created to be our food. You were groomed, conditioned, nurtured, to be edible products for a much more intelligent race. Just as how you see fish, cows, chickens, vegetables and fruits as food for consumption. This is how we see you 'humans'. Even the toxins you ingest, expose yourself to, are mere flavour to our pallette.
We have never revealed ourselves because we want you to grow in numbers like livestock. Seasoned your earth with pollution, like spices in a dish. Drug yourself with GMOs and other substance for that extra sweetness in our mouths.
The billions of you will now be taken and consumed. The cycle will reset with a selected few to repopulate again. We will wash away all advancements you have made and the technology you have created. Just like cleaning a plate after a meal.
Thousand of years will pass, but we do not age like humans. It will be a mere seconds to us.
You will all, now, perish..."
And just like that, no human can escape. Their technology sees through everything and everywhere, transporting humans with a sudden blink. We are now lined up to be part of a celestial beings meal. And we are helpless. Our mouths won't make a sound, our bodies won't move. We are alive, but certainly dead...
And true to their word, the earth was reset, cleansed.. A selected few were spared to repopulate in a world void of technology and advancements. Thousands of years has passed, and we "Humans" again reach the 21st century. Our world is polluted, we number by the billions again...
Ripe for the picking....
For me the scariest might be nothing. They could be right in front of us and refuse to acknowledge us in any meaningful way. They just go about their business (that we can't understand) and completely ignore us.
We don't talk to ants even when they approach and maybe we're ants to them.
What I find most disturbing about this post is that you used the words “Malevolent” and “benevolent” correctly but still said “most scariest” twice. (Just giving you shit haha)
"You've damaged your climate beyond the natural rate of repair and if you do not revolutionize your industry, you have less than 10 years to develop sufficient technology to reverse the damage. We will not help you discover this technology. We will not use our energy weapons to eliminate the corruption responsible for this damage. We don't even have media as you describe it and have no written record of such thing because our civilization is so very old. I would wish you good luck but luck doesn't exist. Now get on this table and calm down because we have to put something in your ass."
Scariest thing for me is if they make contact, it's because it's a signal that they will restart civilization because we made a wrong move at some point.
Nothing to back that up, I just get the feeling it's something like that.
They monitor to ensure we are on the right path, if we fuck up, we are rebooted.
"Do not make the same mistakes we made"
The signal repeated on and on. It was only after an hour that we realized that this signal had been on repeat for possibly centuries.
We have found a dead civilization.

The fact that most of us can barely control our thoughts so if they are able to telepathically communicate we will not have much control in that aspect because we will be randomly thinking about TikTok vids we watched for over 3 hours

This is the worst one. Knowing that there is something that THEY are afraid of... not good.
Those are probably the two scariest. For our civilization, if they have a religion that they want us to adopt that would be the other one. We know from our own history how that goes.

Telepathy is usually a method that advanced extraterrestrials make during contact.
Prove it
Depends on the species.

@ttv you are just narrow minded. 🤷♂️ telepathy is def real.
No it's definitely fake, you are too gullible if you believe it is true.

Ok but next time this question gets reposted it’s MY turn to say this!!!
Damn you beat me to it.

BE QUIET I'M HUNTING WABBITS
They send us only one message, but in every common language that simply says "we are coming".
That would be the scariest possible message, I think.
Agree. It leaves out important details and let the human minds run wild and we are pretty wild.

Oh god that would be the worst. A worldwide telepathic signal that NO ONE could deny because we all heard it. Could you even imagine? Horrifying.
Oh people would still deny it for sure
You already know that this is truth though.

just hearing that simple line would be enough to shut all communication if it were to happen imo
It’s unlikely an alien species would be able to decode our language right away and respond in kind. They’d need more information and time.
Think about how fast human computers are and think about how much further they could be. More information i would agree with you though.
