1. I'd be shocked if there weren't

That said, I hope they don't judge us all by our current leadership.

4. Ah, what a treat. Thank you!

They really seemed to start taking a real interest in us after we developed the atomic bomb.

I strongly suspect our "leaders" would've already blown us all to nuclear winter, had it not been for ongoing offworld intervention.

We'll never know, I suppose - but it wouldn't surprise me in the least, human nature being what it is.

3. Scientists say there was life on Venus

Maybe, long ago...

Venus used to be a very different planet.

In fact, a new study suggests the second planet from our sun basked in downright Earth-like temperatures for billions of years, even boasting oceans of liquid water.

That is, until about 700 million years ago, when a mysterious event poisoned the atmosphere and transformed Venus into a poster child for runaway climate change.

"Our hypothesis is that Venus may have had a stable climate for billions of years," lead author Michael Way a planetary scientist at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, notes in a statement.

"It is possible that the near-global resurfacing event is responsible for its transformation from an Earth-like climate to the hellish hot-house we see today."

Recent photos did turn up one strange object. It appears to be a cluster of yellowish, hair-like strands, wrapped in red cloth strips that look like a man’s tie. Scientists aren’t sure what to think….

2 space aliens looking down on earth.
I see the dominant life form has developed space weapons.
Does this mean they are an emerging intelligence?
I don't think so. They have them aimed at themselves.
