The Kinds of Aliens -- Or -- What We Know So Far, A Summary of Sightings
The various Kinds of Aliens visiting Earth may be from different planets. Or not. Most commonly seen are the small humanoids with grey skin and large eyes. Presumably they come from an overcast planet where bright sunlight is rare. Less commonly seen are insect-like beings. Even when seen, they are not well studied. Might have something to do with the natural human reaction to squash them. A third kind are reptilian-ish. The many other kinds are so rarely reported that they are left out of summaries of Earth’s visitors. The Greys seem to breathe our air and drink our water. They may be drones, in the sense of “worker bees” of our common Honey Bees. If they are, then their queens would also be humanoids, (and can counted as a fourth kind of alien.?) Lumping all together as “them”, let’s consider where they are from? Astronomers say planets like earth are common in our neck of the woods. Zeta Reticulai is a pair of sun-like stars only about 40 years away. Both are good candidates for having “earths”. So, UFOs might be from a relatively near star. A completely different speculation has “them” being from another dimension. See Richard Dolan (2022) and Jacques Vallee (2008, 2023). In 1961 Betty Hill got to ask one of them “Where are you from?” Very few humans who have had a conversation one of them asked this question. The “folklore” is thin. What do they want? Now we enter the zone of total speculation. I’m putting my chips on “To be left alone”. They don’t want to be shot at. They do want fresh air and water. Maybe they want a place where they can get out and repair a bent side mirror. That’s my guess. Like they say: “If I knew the way, I would take you home.” submitted by /u/RalphCringely [link] [comments]
