How could you tell? Seriously, this is a real sticking point with me. All the talk about good aliens and bad aliens, seems to me, fails to address the incredible risk and uncertainty involved in attempting to assess such a thing. Vibes? What 'they' tell you? What you hope or imagine? Any contact with a non-human intelligence, it's individual members as well as its government, must observe the most extreme caution and reservation on the part of human individuals and governments. We cannot assume that they would hold any of the same concepts we have of truth, honesty, fair-play, or anything else for that matter. To assume these things about any non-human species we meet would be extremely dangerous for us as a species and something we have to consider.
