News NSA confirms alien contact

[T.Neo]

what i thought he meant was soldiers who have had surgical alterations instead of some sort of natural explosive, but thats just me.

Soldiers are usually too much of and investment to blow up...

Well if they are jellyfish like creatures who use less dense methane or hydrogen to float in a dense atmosphere they could have some type of ignition device just like electric eels... Radio antennas are technology not biological... They had to invent it...

I don't think electric eels can generate enough of a 'zap' to create an explosion-inducing spark. It's about electrical potential or something, and air has far less of it than... water does.

Don't know about radio but a lot of animals can transmit information over great distances using either sound or scent traces. We need radio because we lack those means, just as we need to build ecolocators because we lack the marine mammals' abilities. As for explosives, why make big booms when you can use acids or mechanical means?

That is true, though I wouldn't really equate radio to sound/scent communication, it can allow a lot of things that sound/scent communication cannot.

Still, I really do not see biological radio emitters/recievers happening... there are a lot of requirements that don't really fit into biology properly.

Well i don't really understand what he means by "jellyfish" like creatures they could float (i dont know how though) walk or swim. Either way the only way id see them interested in earth is for water.

The only thing I can say to them is **Blah**.

The Midwich Cuckoos ?

No, I would have remembered it because it's as famous as Day of the Triffids. The story is The Kraken Wakes (in the US it was titled Out of the Deeps).

I'd really, really be annoyed if I came light-years only to have the local intelligent life say 'blah' to me. :dry:

Well... to live in our water, maybe. But to 'mine' our water, or something... that is pretty silly, in the outer system you have moons made of water.

Though I'm skeptical about a technologically advanced aquatic sapient species, because it is very difficult to do several things in aquatic environment- most importantly- using fire, and perfecting metallurgy.

Rings a vague bell, duh. Should have looked it up. Good writer, did his stuff at scool, not many get a couple of films made.

They dont have to live in water...
Such a species im talking about could be a balloon like creature with tentacles that allow grab things and move around... The gravity is 0.5g and atmosphere 3 times with an oxygen level 34%... Which theoretically pushes the atmosphere to the brink of combustion with any spark...

Anybody trying to solve the 31 messages? I am already at message #13, it is really fun.

I was, got to #20, had to stop because the font became smaller and the letters are too hard to read

 

[JEL]

If they are less than benevolent I'll convince them we project a contagious collective form of insanity that will paint any plans of conquest they have as counterproductive. I'll also point out how we've depleted the Earth's resources and poisoned its seas.

Sad thing is, you wouldn't even be lying. Humans aren't too clever at taking care of their habitat:

Pier anglers, mostly low-income Latinos and Asians from inland communities who take to the piers as a cheap diversion and a way to supplement their diet, are slowly adapting to the guidelines, though some are unaware that eating fish with elevated levels of the toxic substances can lead to cancer, developmental problems and neurological damage.

The NSA , an U.S. of A. agency had communications with aliens trough Sputnik
1, a USSR transmit only satelite, the first anything man-made to go in to
Earth orbit. During the cold war?

Which is pretty much the reason aliens came in Battle:LA but i liked the movie though :lol:
