Skeletons on Earth.

Have you spent your entire life trying to answer the question of what lies beyond the known? What if there is a planet outside of our universe that actually looks like us but has inhabitants who are distinct from us in terms of appearance, behavior, and diet? What if they are similar to us but have intelligence and abilities that far exceed our own? And what if they're trying to obliterate our culture covertly? Do I already have a Joe Rogan-like voice?

After watching Nope again and again, Jordan Peele's masterful examination of aliens or extraterrestrials, I have come to the conclusion that this subject, unlike those covered in obscene podcasts and art films, merits further critical examination. Except for a few inebriated teenagers who trespassed on Area 51.

The co-owners of this blog are Indians, so rightfully, we have never in our lives experienced or witnessed an incident that has left an impression on our minds as to how small we are. The closest we got to exploring an unknown territory in that space was a film by our beloved green eyed munchkin, Mr. Hrithik Roshan, in which he played the son of a scientist who was successful in comprehending & communicating with those extraterrestrials. The alien creature looked somewhat like this, just for reference: ( A Forever cutie, I know )

The first controversial UFO sightings ever witnessed by the world were in Nevada between 1947 and 1969, when the survivors of the incidents were allegedly kidnapped by beings who did not belong to this planet and were held in captivity before being released. The relevancy and objectivity of those claims have been questioned time and again, concluding that the statements given by the survivors were untrue, but still, the question stands in contention with the 12,000 UFO sightings reported to Project Blue Book, a secret section in the Air Force that is dedicated to studying and understanding the UFO sightings in space and determining if they pose any threat to the blue body that we live on. Let's enter another dimension of this very topic: the depiction of how they look in movies, TV shows, memes, and gifs. From over-the-top scary depictions, I saw as a child in 'Courage the Cowardly Dog' to how much the makers of the film humanized them in 'Men in Black' to how it may happen that all they do is resemble a big ship that munches people down and feeds on them in 'Nope". They have been an active part of our lives over the past few decades.

In all of our conspiracies and questions, let's see what the experts think of this, shall we? Acclaimed physicist Stephen Hawking has time and again been vocal about his fear that in deciphering and finding out whether a world apart from us actually exists in the form of intelligent alien life in the cosmos, we may become vulnerable to extinction, further attracting the attention of a civilization that may be more advanced than ours. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they could reach. Hawking said in 2010 on an episode of "Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking," a TV show that aired on the Discovery Channel.

Until we find the answers to our questions and until we find how green these aliens really are, until we expose ourselves so much there's no space under the sun to hide beneath, and until we discover the perplexed questions eternity has left us with, let's pray, hope, and wish they don't turn out like us — bloodthirsty for greed and hungry for power.
