If aliens ever did show up, the biggest problem would be communication. There’s little hope that we would ever be able to convey anything to each other since there would be no common basis and we’d probably end up being annihilated.

Lost in Space…now I’ve got the John (or Johnny as he was known then) Williams theme running through my head!

“Alien disguised itself as a cricket” – that made me chuckle. Thanks!

No. Based on the sound, I believe it was an alien cricket.

Came up a little short on the letter “i” for the word “in.”

I don’t doubt that there’s intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. What I question is why it would want anything to do with the human species.
