I saw that. Wonder WTH it is?
If aliens invade, I wonder if they will be more vulnerable to Covid than we are?
I bet if Alien fleet appeared in the sky tomorrow and declared "We claim this world for the KlaK-Zarg Empire, we are now your rulers!", the vast majority of people would shrug and say, "Hell couldn't be worse than our own government, they seem to have their act together and have mastered interstellar travel. All Hail our new rulers from the Klak-Zarg Empire!"
Probably — but even if it was not that much more advanced it would be constructed so differently I don’t see how we could figure it out. Same if some aliens captured on of our crafts.
Or of ‘us’ from a future time...
I’d vote for Klak-Zarg 2020 over Biden any day.
If there’s something out there they’ve decided long ago not to bother...
I found it using DuckDuckGo.
You don’t need google anymore, you’re free.
Besides, I think it is a blackout added to hide something.
Possibly a black sphere.
As a kid I thought I saw a UFO but in later years I concluded it was probably a falling star. On the police scanner 1974 or 1975 there were calls to Munjoy Hill for a UFO sighting. My grandfather, my father and my brother and I got in the car to go check out the scene. When we got there, there were a few police and a small crowd of people. Suddenly as I looked up at the sky I saw this white streak go from left to right and the entire line stayed there for maybe a second and a half before the back (left) part of the white line began to quickly disappear, erasing itself from left to right until it was gone. Would anybody describe that as a falling star?

I read a SF short story about a guy who had time-traveled back to Isaac Newton's time. He somehow had contrived to take along with him an electronic handheld calcualtor, an early LED type.
He wangled a meeting with Newton and showed him the calculator, thinking it would speed technological advance through the years. Newton saw the red LED characters and decided the thing was of the devil and our hero had to run for his life.
Been telling all of my buddies now for a long time that the ONLY thing that could bring this hopelessly divided nation back together again would be an alien invasion...
If aliens have the technology to get here, they probably don’t need us or anything we’ve got. They have everything they need.
Except, there’s one need that’s awfully hard to satisfy no matter what. Curiosity.
If you could cross the universe and visit an inhabited planet, why else would you, but to see what’s there?
“...how long would it take using known technology in 1776 for scientists then to figure out what a modern laptop computer was and how to use it ??”
Oh... Just about 200 years, I’d guess.
Could you just tell us? I don't want the Chinese laughing at me.
explains Pelosi Schumer and AOC .
I could never figure out why ET craft could or would travel the galaxy and land on our planet with flashing lights.........
Borg?
There's not a trace of it remaining now, intelligent life that is.
