Maybe they should talk to Jodie Foster in the movie “Contact”. She had the equipment and knowledge to determine the precise location of a signal. It came from old jettisoned car called Vega.

The proof is pretty obvious. The whole idea of aliens out there is sci-fi and Hollywood. There’s no aliens.

In other news—ants have once again failed to detect the existence of the mythical human beings...

Back to the drawing board....

Hah! We have fooled the humans again! I have translated the signal: “Help us, Jobi Den! You’re our only hope.” Little do they know...

Great old sci fi movie:

They find these alien glyphs with odd symbols on a globe that looks like Earth and finally translate them:

“Designated Landing Areas”

;-)

Ants are well aware of our existence, as aware as they can be.

"I read the book. The movie sucked....................."

Yeah, the movie was kinda over the top. My current favorite Sci-Fi is "Arrival". If you haven't seen it, I won't spoil it with any specifics.

I have yet to read any study that provided evidence ants were aware of our existence in any meaningful way.

Was alright for its day. The merging of human and AI machine was interesting for those who haven’t read early Sci-Fi.

I am trying to broaden your horizons—I have had many posts over the years that were declared “crazy” only to have the poster come around to my point of view many years later.

Occam’s Razor is not your friend—because the real world is _way_ more complicated than “science” would like it to be.

"There’s no aliens."

So those patterns in my back yard and the strange voices in my head mean I'm a schizo? I told my wife I need more rum!
