This is not a troll take. I am generally curious to know what you think. Personally, I always believed that it’s very possible for something like von newman probes wpuld visit us, maybe even for millenias, maybe even before we existed as a species.
Now, here’s my take: what worries me is that UFOs’ appearance and aliens’ appearance have evolved in step with popular culture, specifically the culture coming from America, and Hollywood in particular.
For example, in the 50s, it was the flying saucers. You know which one, straight out of pulp comics. Then, we went to the “greys” introduced by the X-Files.
The triangle UFO wave started in Belgium, so everyone started to see triangles everywhere. Most of the cases of UFOs those years were all triangles including the famous so-called flares incident in the USA .
Now, we know, because we have the footage, that there are undefined objects that look like spherical metal balls or something, so people start to draw parallels with Foo Fighters from WWII, but the bottom line is UFOs no longer look like triangles. I haven’t seen a triangle in a while. They are all ball-shaped, and they they have a tendency to end in the water. The problem with that is of course we have a lot of balloons that look like this and can be carried at very high speed by jet streams. But I digress.
Don’t you think that’s a little bit strange? And what’s your take on this? Now, personally, I think it’s very possible that some von newman probe could take multiple forms, because they could be launched by multiple civilizations at very different, even incredible, spans of time, potentially 5,000 to 10,000 years from each other, so they could look different, of course, but it’s a little bit too convenient to my taste.
I’m curious as to what you think about this, and let’s hope that 2024 is the year where we finally get some proper answers!
