    before we see aliens we would see their drones, and before that we would see their version of 1950's sitcoms that they broadcast out to space thousands of years ago.

    I'm hoping that's what the big announcement is, reruns of Leave it to Xztkrlyg

    • Expanding our ideas upon them is stupid. They are nothing alike us, that's the point, that's what "alien" means.grafician
    • We wouldn't necessarily see their sitcoms broadcast from thousands of years ago for many potential reasons, including but not exclusively potential FTL travel.kalkal
    • Say they're 100,000 ly away, that gives them that long between developing radio communication and now for them to advancekalkal
    • Say they survive and flourish for that long, and FTL is possible, it's plenty of time for them to develop that technology. FTL is arguably a requirement forkalkal
    • them to get here if it were to ever happen.

      Twitter hates me.

    • So?kalkal
    • I will be very disappointed if the first alien civilisation we make contact with are using radio waves to communicate. Unless some 10G 4 dose vax shit.fadein11
    • They flat out said there is no announcement, but only a report that does not confirm aliens. Basically they promise a lot of nothing I fear.monospaced
    • the idea of that report is they officially acknowledged the issue, anything they can reveal extra is cool too (recovered materials, etc.)grafician
    • does not confirm or keyword 'deny' aliens, fact is no one knows what this shit is.GuyFawkes
    • @mono, don't know about others but I wasn't talking about the report and have never suggested it's aliens.fadein11
    • I wasn’t talking to you so relax.monospaced
    • niko mentioned “ the big announcement”monospaced
    • yeah no worries, thought you were responding to comments, didn't read niko's last sentencefadein11
    • I wasn't even suggesting the report had aliens, just replying to the idea that if it was, that we wouldn't necessarily detect their broadcast before them arrivikalkal
    • ngkalkal
    • if it's not aliens, then it has to be another military secret, or it's ours and the pentagon won't admit itmonospaced
    • or it's just something else benignmonospaced
