Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

“and they can maneuver in ways that defy the known laws of physics”
Which laws of physics exactly?
Moving rapidly in various directions does not violate any law of physics. Lighting up does not. Flying does not ‘violate’ the law of gravity, as jets and rockets can do this with the help of physics.
The only laws of physics that they might violate is exceeding the speed of light or time-travel, but I have never heard anyone claim any evidence to support this happening.
That’s funny, I just read Damon Knight’s original short story “To Serve Man” last week. yum!
Did you watch the Twilight Zone episode?
Yes, the tall aliens kinda creeped me out when I saw the episode way back when. Overall I prefer Outer Limits to TZ, and definitely Richard Matheson to Damon Knight, whose stories had surprising endings but were often insubstantial—they seem to exist only for those “shock” endings. But I liked the episode.
An occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge I find to this day difficult to forget, the release of the Devil in a monastery, the huge gold heist of an armored truck and the thieves placing themselves in suspended animation, only to awaken to a time that gold has no value, the poor prisoner in an asteroid that has a female robot delivered only to fall in love with her.
I very much enjoyed entering the Twilight Zone, I for the life of me cannot recall too many Outer Limits episodes, just that they controlled the vertical and horizontal lines on my black and white TV that offered three channels and at times all that was available to watch was a test pattern.
That depends on the definition of “be”!
UFO Coverup Shattered – USAF Hero Pilot, UFO Crash Investigator Reveals The Truth

Serling himself said 1/3 of the shows were awful, and I think he was being kind. They simply don't hold up. Outer Limits was only on for two years but I found it far more consistent--as it was always a scifi/horror combo, where TZ went from fantasy to horror and had an awful lot of "whimsical" episodes that were pure torture to sit through.
This was my first UFO book. 1984, if memory serves.
What caught my attention was the title Clear Intent.
It referred to a document written by a military person in which a UFO was piloted with “clear intent.”
Of course I wanted to know who the pilot was.

Seems to me . . .
They’ve ALREADY TAKEN
OTHUGA
in at least a list of ways.
Now if they’d just remove him off-world.
. . . though I think worse will follow.
bump
OTHUGA
I think they dropped him on us as either an attack unit, or as garbage.
Great way to monitor military technology.
