If we're ever in a position to choose who must meet the aliens head-on in a futile attempt to save humanity, I say let's go ahead and send Randy Quaid, why not
I *think* it was in a CS Lewis non theologically oriented book I read him musing abt the connection betw our own taking to the air in machines and the spotting of "UFOS"
I've been thinking about that for years and it is more likely that the "aliens" and "UFOs" are just us, humans from a different timeline with more advanced technology either going back in time or just crossing parallel dimensions.
Advanced creatures capable of traversing the vast caverns of space and time to come visit Earth, would not accidentally leave their collision recognition lights on.
“An advanced species capable of shooting fire from a stick would never walk around with leaves and twigs stuck to it’s body,” said the deer about the hunter.
Not saying they’re aliens, but in the event that it ever is aliens, speculating based on our limited sense of normalcy won’t get us far.
You are referring to camouflage, a technique used to not be noticed by the target animal. It is quite useful, as the hunter is not seen by the deer until the deer is dead or dying.
Also...camaflogue doesn't make deer not see you, you doofus, they just mistake you for foliage. That's why it uses foliage patterns. Are you out there thinking hunters are invisible??
This is what I always say. Like I think scifi has sort of warped (lol) our minds about just how fantastically advanced FTL or even interstellar travel would be.
These beings would be basically inter-dimensional space wizardgods to us. No chance we'd see them if they didn't explicitly want us to.
The world is wonderful and amazing without having to entertain the nonsense of aliens. Ball lighting exists. Transient luminous events exist. Paleodictyon exists. WE EXIST! The world is magical
We need to start doing ancient aliens myths for European civilizations for it to stop. The Big Ben was aliens. The Colosseum? Also aliens. Eiffel Tower was aliens as well. And has anyone even seen deranged items like "bratwurst" or "pizza" in real life?
I've asked several times in life, 10-15 years ago, most friends would be like, maybe...now, everyone goes...Probably not, even hostile ones might be a nice change, can't worry about the state of things if we're dead🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ Says a lot about the state of things.
Unless you make sure it wasn't aliens with evidence and meticulous documentation and a funny YouTube video that will be the perfect procrastination bait, I regret to inform you that my lil green buddies are still catching the rap for this. 👉🏽 Either get to work or stay out of it, pookie bear.
And if it was aliens they probably wouldn't be as cool as, say, the Vorlons. Nothing's as interesting as it looks in the movies. Blue fork lightning doesn't skitter across failing electronics either.
The world is rife with things to fear. Most of humankind’s problems for many millennia are connected to unacknowledged fear. Unknown lights overhead in the night skies are also potent distractions for known scary stuff.
Aliens or ALIENS? I fear the ALIENS have landed and they are laughing their asses* off. (* might be known differently in their language of science and mathematics)
As far as the Jersey drones, yeah. None of them display the beyond-human acceleration and maneuverability capabilities that we would expect with a UAP.
People should look into rocketry for like five minutes and see that getting across the galaxy in less than half a million years requires energy output that would be visible across the goddamn galaxy.
"What if they have magical bullshit ftl" what if fairies fly out of my ass, why come here then?
And if they DO have magical bullshit FTL... then are we really suggesting they have magical bullshit FTL but NOT magical bullshit invisibility? Because one of those is a significantly "easier" bullshit magical physics nut to crack than the other
Yup, if they could get here in a reasonable time they are technologically at a point they could probably just use a telescope to view us and simulate the visit instead of engaging in all the risk and effort to what, say hi, sneak around, steal a cow?
One of the great filters is probably a large moon. Tidal friction keeps the planet’s core molten, providing tectonics to maintain land masses and oceans; tide pools where life first develops; and a magnetosphere to block deadly cosmic and solar radiation.
Of course another great filter is distance.
Also: solar eclipses > fear and confusion > religion > power structures > consolidation of wealth > technological progress > global death and destruction.

...but yeah, it's never aliens.

Scully just refused to believe it. Because she was...scientific.

Long story short, you got a shitty analogy.

I likes this reply, I does.
Did someone lose a balloon?
Not knowing that we use aircraft?
Are we jumping at bokeh again?

86 years ago there was this: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-31/orson-welles-war-of-the-worlds-broadcast-85-years-old/103038614
Alien’s from light years away wouldn’t have a narrow time or geography window.
They would have a the technical superiority to control the agenda, time, and location by a landslide!

Hypothesis: refuted.
I mean maybe not aliens, but kinda seems like aliens.
Until it is 😈
I'd guess it's some bozos with a DJI.
What if it's always aliens?
I just made the same comment and thought I was brilliant.
"What if they have magical bullshit ftl" what if fairies fly out of my ass, why come here then?
Even bullshit wormholes or alcubierre drives would be visible from a huge distance via lensing and shit.
If you can magic up stealth and teleport why come here to this fucking random backwards world?

Of course another great filter is distance.
