Their spaceships are invisible to astronomical instruments and military radar, but can easily be detected by drunk rednecks in Nebraska or overly-excitable office temps in Nottingham.
They have an advanced understanding of the human anus, but (since they either don’t speak at all, or use telepathy) no knowledge of the vocal chords … wait a minute … I think I understand now! They’re working from some kind of reference book, and they’re looking at the pictures the wrong way up!
If humans are the pinnacle of consciousness harbouring organisms on this planet, why would’nt alien creatures look similar to us, with slight differences, depending on the type of planet they had evolved from?
Well, but I think we are not paying attention to the second subgroup of aliens. To whit, the ones that are permanently pissed-off for some reason and either (a) have a rather gruesome and complex reproductive process, involving a messy detonation of the unlucky host for their larvae, or (b) drop around to engage in sport hunting of humans.
They also tend to look like humongous insectoid monsters.
Even though they have technology that allows them to bridge the vast depths of space, they can’t hit the broad side of a barn with their laser blasters.
Their firewall technology sticks, too.
They also seem to be amazingly bad drivers, wobbling, weaving, and diving through the sky in the manner of hubcaps on strings.
One UFO enthusiast I saw on TV, explaining a wobbly UFO video, said that actually verified the video - the wobbly, diving, and bobbling flight path was consistent with the characteristics of other videos.
Maybe the large heads are attached by springs, like this.
They may be technologically advanced, but I don’t think they’re very socially advanced. Judging from their actions, they’re like the little kid on the playground who never talks to the girl he likes, and runs away when he sees her coming.
Who says we are the pinnacle of anything? Visiting aliens would probably look completely foreign to us, maybe being spikey, or octo-limbed, or a hyper-intelligent shade of blue.
I did say “if”! For all I know, dolphins could be clicking away in hysterical laughter at our destructively wanton ways. But not when those Japanese get a sight of them. :eek:
