Strange 'communication' of non-human intelligence in oceans identified

Very "Star Trek"
Scientists have found the source of a strange form of communication in the ocean that they say could help them locate extraterrestrial life in space.
Researchers from the SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) revealed that large 'smoke ring-like' bubbles coming from underwater were created by humpback whales, which researchers believe is their way of greeting nearby humans.
It's the first time scientists have seen whales sending out these unique rings while interacting with people in the wild, and the SETI team said they show an intentional attempt to get the attention of humans - just like saying hello.

Dolphins are reported to exhibit complex language and theory of mind just like humans

"Researchers said it's quite possible whales have been trying to communicate with people for years but the phenomenon hasn't been studied until now."
