You ever seen the movie Contact? It's one of my all time favorite movies.

Anyways, at the end of the movie Jodie Foster makes a "deep space flight" (interdimensional travel apparently because her craft never actually left Earth) and meets up with an alien posing as her deceased father.

I've often wondered what it would be like dealing with an intelligence greater than our own. For instance, one of the stories that I'm fond of suggests that the big black triangles are our own. And when they do things like they did in Belgium back in the 90's (flying them low and slow over a large city at night) that what they are doing is remote neural linking everyone's sleeping brains together so they can use our brains as an advanced computer to perform deep space flight trajectories.

At first I thought this was nonsensical until I read a report out of MIT (I think it was) where scientists had actually done this in a lab with mice (remote link their brains together).

Now supposedly that tech is homegrown. So what would it be like if we were dealing with an actual ET species who is vastly more intelligent than we are?

Well, they may just decide to use their fancy technology to seed stories about themselves into our popular culture. Things like putting the idea for Star Wars in George Lucas's sleeping brain for instance (not saying this actually happened, just that it's a thought I've long pondered.)
