... It's like us fearing ants because they are hostile.

In America, it's not ants we fear. It's UNCLE.    Cheesy

Common sense dictates that if there aliens able to travel the vast distances of space to reach us, than they are so technologically advanced that we pose no threat to them if they contact us. It's like us fearing ants because they are hostile.

But what if they like tasty, exotic foods?

On the other hand, if they are just a little ahead of us, and if their ship has been traveling for thousands of years to get here, and if they are all in stasis awaiting the day of their arrival, we may be able to blast them out of the sky on their entry into orbit around earth.

If they are anything like us, their people do not exist any longer. Thousands of years ago already, they have had civil wars on their home planet, that at least pushed their people back into some kind of dark, dark ages... if not destroying their whole race entirely for all time... except for the group in stasis on their way here, that is.

They pose no threat to us. It's their own stupidity that poses a threat to them. We're just mopping up. They're as good as gone as they would have been if they had never made the trip.

And, Btw, our self-destruction is coming as well. The only reason we haven't done it to ourselves already is, we haven't been strong enough in the past. Somebody's finger is gonna slip and accidentally launch some nukes. Then everybody else will do it on purpose, in retaliation. We're good as gone right now.

A large cluster of objects in space look like something you would "expect an alien civilization to build", astronomers have said. 

Jason Wright, an astronomer from Penn State University, is set to publish a report on the “bizarre” star system suggesting the objects could be a “swarm of megastructures”, according to a new report.

I was fascinated by how crazy it looked,” Wright told The Atlantic. “Aliens should always be the very last hypothesis you consider, but this looked like something you would expect an alien civilization to build.” 

 Shocked Shocked Shocked

In the near future, they also want to try and point a radio dish in the direction of the star and see if they can detect any radio frequencies that a typical advanced civilization might use.  This could be absolutely nuts if they can somehow confirm this.

this is really interesting exploration .. when they prove this findings belong to an advanced civilization, this world genuinely will go crazy..

yes you are right .. but you miss the some points... maybe these alliens wants to invade the earth Smiley who knows ? Smiley

nope. no gonna happen. humans are more hostile. that is why up to today, no aliens yet have tried to communicate.

There are documentaries about aliens and most of them provide proof. not sure if its true though. one documentary states that we human are the alien in this planet  Grin
The Nickola Tesla documentary said that Nickola has been communicating with aliens that is why his inventions are a lot sophisticated and he is far a head of his time.

No Laser Signals Detected from 'Alien Megastructure' Star

It's looking less and less likely that a faraway star's strange dimming was caused by some kind of "alien megastructure."

Intelligent Aliens are smarter than the those energy gatherers, gathering energy from a sun by placing a giant antenna around it. This proves that this story is another hoax.

Maybe (probably) not an alien structure, but maybe not a hoax either.  The original statements from the scientists involved pretty clearly did NOT state it was an alien structure, but posited that it was odd data, which COULD be such and such.

The media has blown it up into what it is now.  "Alien Cruise Ship Rocks into the Milky Way" or whatever.

Odds are it is a natural thing that science just hasn't seen before and so doesn't have a data profile to match it to to determine "this is what it is"  Lots of unknowns out there and we haven't even begun to scratch the surface, so I would expect an endless stream of "WTF is that?" type things as we poke our noses out there and stumble across things we haven't seen before.



It's obviously greedy capitalists.  Some corporation greedily taking 25% of the entire output of the star.  Think of the cold, miserable poor, left in the dark.  Who will care for them?

I hear the next big endeavor by trump is to create the "Trump Sphere" around the sun and can harvest 26.7% of the entire stars output... see that socialist!? Capitalism is hard at work, providing you, the consumer, a better/more high quality product of sustainable energy.

It must be giant donut spinning up and down. So that can cut sunlight.
I cannot think better explanation about this for now.

scientists are nerds and nerds want to believe in aliens. its speculation and not really science but mostly scientists like to throw provocative headlines like this out there because it can translate into funding.
Aliens could be a lot closer than we think?

maybe this is what aliens do to hide there ships and planets but there 1000 years ahead in cloaking tech Grin
