> An alien species masters interstellar space travel of millions of light years. Avoids collisions with debris, asteroids, the effects of solar radiation, calculates course adjustments for black holes, pulsars, quasars, acceleration and deceleration, manages to hydrate and feed themselves during all this process of coming to our planet, and during the last 100 feet of travel they need to turn on bright lights to see where they are going to find someone’s rectum?
It’s a story so often repeated I’m really quite confused over alien intelligence?
You assume they travel in linear fashion like we do. They may know how to travel from one point to another non-linear. I think we are not early as intelligent as we think we are.
I accept what you say. I can't accept what the localized versions of their activities are refined to once they get here.
“You assume they travel in linear fashion like we do. They may know how to travel from one point to another non-linear.”
I suspect that pan-dimensional beings have better to do than travel millions of lightyears to probe some hick’s butt and then leave without any further human contact. “Take us to your leader” would have been a lot more credible reason to visit. Hell, let them probe Obama’s butt.
