    If I see a subject about aliens (like a news story or whatever), my first bias thought: "I hope the reveal of the alien is that it isn't a humanoid (head, torso, 2 arms, 2 legs)." Otherwise, it would be convenient of the human imagination to picture an alien in his likeness.

    Instead an alien who also happen to evolve on a class M planet like us via the same evolutionary trajectory.

    Might be more probable that an alien could just be something on a microscopic cellular level; maybe chilling on an asteroid. It enters earths atmosphere, as the meteor is burned up to a small chunk of space rock, lands on earth, survives a few hours in an environment of 78% nitrogen | 21% oxygen | 1% argon, then quietly dies.

    I'm sure there is plenty of that out there.


    But if you believe any of the recent hype, theory suggests they have a common ancestor, or at least come from a common home as us. Digging even further, they seem to be customized or created for their mission - both them and their vehicles.

    This is fascinating stuff that could make sense, but only leads to more questions.

    Why would the Earth air kill them if hanging out in a void with no atmosphere didn't? Are you saying that they were frozen sort of like simple organisms in permafrost?

    The Reddit thread postulates that the Grey Aliens are genetically engineered creatures with mostly human DNA made for the purpose of exploring and analyzing the earth and potentially planet threating stuff like human disease, war and radiation leaks like Fukushima. Nothing in that thread (that I saw) suggest that these creatures evolved. In other words, we don't know what the 'real' aliens who made the Grey Aliens look like.

    I do find it a little puzzling that a hyper-advanced technological species builds gravity-drive driven crafts that crash all the time (based on the 4chan thread).

    By 'chillin' I didn't mean like permafrost... meant like 'lounging' / hanging out in the center of a meteor. Cell-flix and 'chill.

    On the atmosphere thing; you never know right? Neptune/Jupiter's atmosphere is bad for humans; an alien cell's physiology might react badly to earth's atmosphere.

    Anyways main point was that an alien is something not in our likeness. But lot of alien conspiracy lore; the picture they conjure up, is always a dude (often grey/green) with a big head, two arms and legs.

    I agree with the non-biped aliens angle, way too many variables to produce a similar body type. Or maybe not, since there are nigh-infinite number of worlds out there. There are lots of theories and ideas out there that support both.

    Left out this species. You can see them at the local Walmarts.

    I would suspect that, if Earth is not the only planet that has (or has had) life on it.....

    Well, then, there's probably more than just two planets that have life. There's probably millions or billions. That being said, there's probably life that has evolved in all kinds of directions that may look nothing like us.

    However.. perhaps the "gray aliens" have specifically sought out the humans on Earth because our DNA was somehow used to artificially create them (along with other DNA)... or because their DNA and ours are, at least in part, identical and they are wanting to learn from it or have a need or application for it.

    Not sure it would be Earth "air" per se, but I would imagine microbial life and viruses would pose a significant threat to them, as in War of the Worlds.

    Great point. I was myopically thinking about just the atmosphere difference.

    The grays, human-like aliens could most definitely be some other species' (who knows what they looks like) version of human-like pseudo bots made and sent here for specific tasks.


    The kid with an ant farm analogy rings true for me. We are the ants, some unknown(s) are the kid(s) and the grays are their version of data collecting ants.

    That's my theory at least.

    This is really building momentum.

    Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is pushing legislation to declassify government UFO docs.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/13/us/politics/ufo-records-schumer.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur

    Bipartisan Measure Aims to Force Release of U.F.O. Records

    Legislation backed by Chuck Schumer, the Senate majority leader, would create a review board to declassify documents related to unidentified aerial phenomena across the government.
    Various Pentagon task forces have done extensive studies on videos taken by naval aviators and other military personnel that have remained secret.

    July 13, 2023
    Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the majority leader, is pushing legislation to create a commission with broad authority to declassify government documents about U.F.O.s and extraterrestrial matters, in an attempt to force the government to share all that it knows about unidentified phenomena.

    The measure offers the possibility of pushing back against the conspiracy theories that surround discussions of U.F.O.s and fears that the government is hiding critical information from the public.

    The legislation, which Mr. Schumer will introduce as an amendment to the annual defense policy bill, has bipartisan support, including that of Senator Mike Rounds, Republican of South Dakota, and Senator Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida, who has championed legislation that has forced the government to release a series of reports on unidentified phenomena.

    Support in the House is also likely. On Wednesday, the chamber included a narrower measure in its version of the annual defense bill that would push the Pentagon to release documents about unidentified aerial phenomena.

    (While the government has agreed not to call mysterious sightings U.F.O.s, various branches and agencies disagree on whether to refer to aerial phenomena or anomalous phenomena.)

    The Senate measure sets a 300-day deadline for government agencies to organize their records on unidentified phenomena and provide them to the review board.

    President Biden would appoint the nine-person review board, subject to Senate approval. Senate staff members say the intent is to select a group of people who would push for disclosure while protecting sensitive intelligence collection methods.

    Interest in U.F.O.s has always been high, but it has grown even more since a collection of videos showing unidentified phenomena recorded by military sensors was made public and naval aviators described hard-to-explain events while on training missions.


    Some of the videos released by the Pentagon have been explained as optical illusions or drones, but others remain unexplained and the object of much speculation. Under pressure from Congress, the Pentagon and intelligence agencies have gathered hundreds of reports of unexplained phenomena. Officials have said most of the unexplained incidents are airborne trash, Chinese spying efforts or errant weather balloons. American officials have repeatedly said that none of the videos or other material they have collected appears to be evidence of alien visitation.

    It is hard to know how many unreleased documents exist in government archives. Intelligence agencies have said repeatedly that they have released the material they have. Their freedom of information offices are constantly deluged with requests for material on U.F.Os., only to be met with responses that the archives have been released.


    Still, more recent work, particularly by the Pentagon, has not been made public, and the reticence of some government agencies to produce records has frustrated both Democratic and Republican lawmakers, Mr. Schumer’s staff members said.

    For example, various Pentagon task forces have conducted extensive studies on videos taken by naval aviators and other military personnel that have remained secret. Some work on the videos has been released, including at a recent NASA meeting. In some cases, officials believe disclosures could reveal the capability of classified optics and sensors. But in cases in which no formal conclusion has been reached, officials have been reluctant to share information on their deliberations or theories.

    It is the reluctance to share all that is known about the incidents that are not completely understood that has fueled endless speculation on social media, in television specials and public debates.

    The new legislation is modeled on the commission that oversaw the release of information about John F. Kennedy’s assassination. That legislation, passed in 1992, has been imperfect, and both the release and withholding of documents have continued through the Biden administration.

    Still, the Kennedy assassination review board has forced the release of thousands of pages of documents, and lawmakers believe the approach could work here.

    manufactured material of extraterrestrial origins.

    Those assertions have been challenged by some former officials who believe the government is not divulging all that it knows. The legislation would likely force more details of the government’s study of unknown materials to be released, but it also gives the federal government the power to claim any crashed spaceships in private or corporate hands, however unlikely that such things exist.

    Mr. Biden, unlike former President Barack Obama, has not directly addressed the issue of unidentified phenomena. But Mr. Biden did order two unknown objects and a Chinese spy balloon to be shot from the sky. Afterward, the president said that he would not apologize for shooting down the spy balloon and that the United States would continue to adapt its approach to dealing with unknown objects.
