If there is other intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, then they have not made it to the Earth yet, if they had, then they would have liked the human race, and they would have landed their spaceships and communicated with us, or they would have disliked our existence, and they would have destroyed us all and took over the Earth as a place to live for themselves. If any alien life forms had managed to make it to the Earth, then their technology would be far superior to ours, and they would have no problem wiping out our existence if they chose to.
The television concept of an alien is a superior life form that has the telepathic ability, and if “television aliens” actually existed, then they could communicate to each other without speaking.
A consciousness this superior is basically what our sub consciousness is, except that its presence lives with us internally, and its presence is actually superior to the television concept of an alien. This is because the presence of the sub consciousness that lives with us, can send a signal and can monitor the complete set of senses of others around, and not just their thoughts.
