Interesting how that works.

I on the other hand, was disappointed by the stylistics of the writing, but enjoyed the conjecture and postulation. Thanks for sharing but I’d recommend thinking more before you “speak.”

We might be able to detect this. Blah, blah.

Perhaps we can detect them eating green cheese when they pass by the moon, as well. Asteroids are real. We have not detected any extraterrestrials. If they are out there, they are still ‘out there’…. No evidence of them exists on earth, though lots of people have tall tales to share about their own personal, unique ‘meetings’…..Ho hum….a boring story here, not backed up by ANY science.
