>whose to say it would be humanoid?
Some shapes just make sense in *all* cases. Being sentient and sapien is having the ability to manipulate objects (having complex hands with high motor function), the intelligence to do so, and the muscle and skeletal strength to do it.
Bipedalism gives you the ability to have your hands free at all times to manipulate objects. Intelligence gives you the cognizance to do so. All of these are most adequately accomplished by the human body structure. Dolphins are very intelligent, but they have no hands. Octopi are very intelligent and they can manipulate objects with their tentacles, but they have no bones.
Based off of simple physics, certain layouts are quite literally universal.
That's assuming that they're real, but a sentient, tool building, and advanced alien civilization would *most likely* be humanoid in morphology.

ET life does exist.
And he came to the earth in the form of a man named Jesus.
God is the God of the universe, not just the earth.
We already know there is life beyond this earth.
