I’m Not Saying It’s Aliens, But …

There’s a report out of San Francisco that says the aliens may already be here:

“The intriguing possibility is they are, in fact, here, but we just don’t know it,” said Andrew Fraknoi, the emeritus chairman of the astronomy department at Foothill College who recently taught a course on aliens at the University of San Francisco’s Fromm Institute and believes space aliens could very well be microscopic or unrecognizable as a life-form.

While microscopic life is a possibility, I’m thinking there might be a little more to it than that. I mean, if a fully grown, full-size, two-meter tall alien showed up in San Francisco, would anyone really notice?

Perhaps the Fermi Paradox isn’t a paradox after all.

  1. I forget where I saw it, it might have been a series by Craig Alanson that starts with Columbus Day, but it’s the best explanation for the Fermi Paradox.

    Imagine a house with a bunch of monkeys with firearms and explosives going crazy inside.
    Do you go into the house or avoid it?
