The article fails to address the two most important questions: Is the alien ship transmitting messages, and if so, what is their QSL policy?

Al I like it when you post these science threads as you're an expert. One question about the solar system has been puzzling me for years: Do asteroids get hemorrhoids?

I thank you for your response in advance.

Tumbling dingleberries, eh? That's worse than the traveling dingleberries!

Oh well, as long as it's not the fossilized rolling dingleberries, we should survive.

This is the proper hospitality when dealing with an alien ship, my peeps wrote the book on alien etiquette (I say migrants, you say aliens):

I'm surprised that you didn't tell us that we need to "build a wall".

The only thing that happens when you build a wall is a bunch of pissed off Mongolian's show up. I saw a TV documentary about it happening in Colorado.
