All I can suggest is to keep an open mind as new developments happen, and to not treat this subject as a joke or stigma as it has grown to be in modern society. I think we need to be open to the idea of a new reality, and much like Galileo's theories caused much consternation and calls of heresy in his day, so too does the UAP topic based on our pre-disposed perceptions of UFO's, ET, and general high strangeness.
We're probably going to learn some things along the way.

Absolutely, I agree 100%. But you are helping to make my point, not refute it.
The thing is, we have absolutely no idea what to expect from any alien life that might be out there. As you said, they may communicate in a different dimension. Hell, they may be able to traverse space without a ship. Maybe they relate to time and space in completely different ways than we do.
We simply can't know. The only thing we can be certain of (if we ever do meet any), is that they will likely be something we could never have imagined.
Okay, now take that thought back to what we have seen from sightings so far - everything that people describe is terribly parochial (ethno-centric? not sure of the right word when we are talking about earth-centric): space ships that look like saucers or tic tacs, and are roughly the size of our planes; aliens with arms and legs and heads; and eyes on the front of those heads.
Think about eyes for a moment... they are incredibly detailed and incredibly useful for us. Four billion years of evolution, and one of the most incredible things is the eye, developed in fish to see in water, then able to adapt and adjust to air.
Now what seems more likely - aliens also evolved with two eyes on the front of their heads? Or people are projecting their own (very limited), human-centric imaginations?
It all lacks any logic or sensibility from the human side, and it lacks the presumably limitless possibilities from the alien side.
