The aliens are coming!

An interesting article came across my feed yesterday that may be of interest:

A body called 31/Atlas is approaching Earth and a Harvard Scientist, Avi Loeb has said:

Loeb expressed belief the object was more likely to be engineered than naturally occurring. Not only that, but he's now addressed the possibility that it could contain 'alien intelligence'.

There are lots of caveats and opinions that it is just a natural body so a healthy dose of skepticism should be adopted here.

Some of the facts of the situation are interesting to those who believe in alien intelligence however.

Personally I think that any alien intelligence considering contacting mankind would see out broadcasts and give us a wide berth. What would they make of Fox News for example?!

Can you imagine the impact on the planet if aliens did land, friendly or otherwise?

  • What would be really funny would be if they didn't land on the White House, but visited so barely contacted tribe in the Amazon, or another species entirely like crows or parrots?

    We always assume that any ET visitors would be interested in us, for good or ill, what if they weren't?
