Other intelligent Lifeforms

The thought inspires me a lot, almost knowing that there are other intelligent lifeforms.
Somewhere out there perhaps are intelligent lifeforms that have grouped together and are working on a database collecting all of the known intelligent life in the Universe, or at least attempting to.

A HUB of intelligence the galaxy over, who knows maybe even galaxies outside our own.

I would love for humans meet up with another lifeform... although the thought scares me also, they could look at us as we do with the animals here on earth.
