For a brief moment, radio waves are reflected.
Wow. What could they be?
The last time this happened,
they traced the signal to a faulty
microwave seal in the visitor’s break room.

What could “they” be? How about, what could IT be? Something that puts out enough energy in a split second to power the world for centuries. Rather than speculate that vast intelligences, which we do not know exist, are chatting with one another, or trying to chat with us, how about we stick with things that we do know exist and which can generate that much energy... supernovae, colliding neutron stars, etc.? I betcha that’s where the smart money is.
Reminds me of a scene from Sirens Of Titan. A spaceship was lost in the subsurface labyrinth caves of Mercury. Couldnt make its way back to the surface. Then the pilot saw written on one of the walls:
Its an IQ test.
Was wrong. Figured I’d see the alien guy before the 25th post?
