    They had fair warning. No way they didn’t pick up signals on the way here and still chose to land.

      This is my headcannon for why we’ll never have first contact. Because in a theoretical infinite universe, aliens 100% exist in some form, but they’re absolutely mortified by the signals we pump out into our nearspace from TV, radio, internet, etc

      The most curious aliens might take a peek or come down for scans, but actually getting out of the UAP is like jumping the fence at the Cincinnati Zoo.

        So the aliens that do come down are researchers or stupid kids?.. Wow, that checks out. Explains a lot of crashes. Joy riding alien teenagers, daredevils and a handful who break down here.

        Now I find myself wondering if aliens have an equivalent to a Nissan Altima.

        Supposedly our 200-ish year old bubble of lightspeed radio signals now encompasses 75 star systems. Unfortunately the signal gets diminished over distance thanks to the inverse square rule, so they’d maybe receive a signal but not be able to distinguish it from the CMB.

      who says the signals would be dicipherable by their tech? to them it might be some kind of deadly radiation that keeps them away
