Did they have a chance to call home?

For the humorless... the gif is from Independence Day, a MOVIE about alien invaders and this IS a joke.

(18,613 posts)There actually WERE ANTIFA involved in WW2.
They were called Antifaschistische Aktion and they are the OG ANTIFA and an extension of the USSR Communist Party.
They became quite popular in the 1930's, even had rallies in the USA...
Contrary to somewhat popular opinion... US GI's were NOT "ANTIFA".
ANTIFA has a definition, particularly in WW2 era.

(18,613 posts)Looked forward to school holidays or even sick days so I could stay home and watch Twilight Zone on TV.
From age 5 to 15 I think I pretty much grew up on TZ, Star Trek, Dream of Jeannie, Gilligan, Bewitched, Lost in Space and Bonanza!!
With some Lone Ranger re-runs mixed in.

.

(76,693 posts)...would they really need to come down to airplane/missile altitudes to observe?
Seems they'd be able to do that from a million miles out.
And, if they can warp spacetime to be superluminal, they'd bend the light behind them to show in front of them and we'd never know they were there.
Hey, I just think I proved the existence of extraterrestrials! Since we can't see them, they must be there!

(23,187 posts)I mean, how obvious does coded communication get? They assume that the public is gullible enough to assume that an alien piloted craft is ruled out by calling the UFO ""unmanned", but of course it isn't, BECAUSE ALIENS AREN'T MEN!
