    Why am I not surprised that FF even remotely considers the possibility that it's aliens? :dayton:

    $45K!!! are you kidding?

    I don't buy it. I think there is a reasonable explanation - no idea what it could be. But, I don't think it was "stunt artists". I mean .., the first has been confirmed that it was in place for two years. That's a long time to wait for someone to "happen" up it and put it up on social media. And, now they are selling reproductions for $45K. ... I don't buy it.

    It's not though. Remember (probably) life on Venus like 50 years ago? Yeah, that was 2020.

    :bump: Skip to the 2:20 mark of this video


    (Yeah, the guy that did the song "Cars.")

    You'll note that he approaches objects in a desert that look a lot like the monolith in the news story. The song was released in 2021, but who knows when the video was shot. So, it's possible that the objects in the video were inspired by the news story, but it's also possible that it was a prop leftover from shooting the video.

    Well, the posting date for the "official" video is July 2021, so if we figure it would take six months or so from start to finish producing it that would put the start date at about late January, early July of 2021. :chris:

    Just because they were for a music video doesn't mean aliens didn't make them. Maybe this Numan guy knows some aliens or he is an alien?

    I build stuff and those were built differently than I would have built them, so that's proof aliens did it. I'm such a great builder that only aliens can build better, because they cheat. They have anal probes and I don't so that gives them an edge.

    You could always buy some anal probes and then you would be able to be an alien. Just saying, we make them now.

    Alien- *Boredly anal probing more rednecks* Wait...what about...a butthole..but in space!!! :soma: *invents wormhole drive*

    Alien- *Making a human centipede to spice things up* Wait...what about...a linked network of space-buttholes!!! :soma:

    And that's the origin of the aliens from "Contact". :yes:

    The human ones are just for looking at the inside of butts and maybe also for fun if one is into that sort of thing. The alien ones are used to steal human intelligence and transfer it to the aliens. That's why they can build better stuff and why humans are so dumb nowadays; aliens stole all our smart.

    Intelligence is stored in the butt.

    It's both.
    "Contact" just had a slower reveal.
