Was that one guy that tried to contact them their Roswell moment?
Comment on What do you think realistically would happen the moment we meet extraterrestrials?

I think this is basically us.
I feel like we are not alone because the Universe doesn’t do things just once, and the only thing less likely to be the case is if there’s just two species for some reason, they and us. Which gives that life is ubiquitous and therefore not that interesting, so if we were to be contacted it’d be some alien researcher writing another boring thesis on uncontacted civilizations like ours that are about to kill themselves off due to dumb.
Like, maybe they’d catalogue us for posterity or something.
