In one of Tucker Carlson's last interviews he brought the matter up with Musk.  Musk eloquently responded that he probably knows as much about space as anyone else, and his repsonse was that we as humans do not have any evidence of  alien life.  I beleive him.

As far as recognition, I do think their are universal constants of things like math, and physics, and specifically patterned statistics that presented properly would be recognizable by one another.

Providing of course that we were able to communicate with each other on a level that made understanding complex problems possible.

Given the difficulty we have today even communicating on even a semi-intelligent level with Yankees and other denizens of the frozen north,I wouldn't bet  money on it being worth  the frustration.

The REAL question is IF there is other life in the universe, and I truly believe this is probable,will we even be able to recognize it as an intelligent life form,and will they be able to recognize US as an intelligent life form?

Different planetary conditions are bought to create different life-forms.
With the present intellectual trajectory of this species, they might recognize sentience, but intelligence is definitely in question.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Hey! I'm a denizen of the "frozen North". It only gets strange East of the Red River of the North and west of the Cascades.
