Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

So I got permission to post whatever the gently caress the person I'm currently seeing caught on camera while taking long exposure shots of the night sky out near Mono Lake.

Initially I thought maybe she'd caught the ISS reflecting a glint or something but that scale doesn't make any sense? Also for a long exposure it's... Weird that it doesn't have the typical squiggly light streaks when stuff like Space X satellite launches get caught in night sky photography.

i think rods are probably born upright, built from the ground up as minerals are shepherded into newly constructed rods which then detach and go on their way

so they see refineries and such as potential rod nurseries they didn't know about

The exposure time makes or breaks it for me. If it's 10 seconds, I got nothing. 5 or less I think it's a plane + its navigation lights going off twice.

no joke, really at the point machines are advanced enough to locate and rearrange raw materials in order to duplicate themselves (potentially even making errors when doing so from time to time!) that sounds a lot like synthetic life

Yeah. I saw an idea once that there's an entire literal ecosystem of von Neuman probes out there, some preying on others for materials, others occupying certain niches based on their capabilities, etc. That would honestly be cool as gently caress.

Based on the leaves the camera is pointed within like 20 degrees of straight up, so is that the bottom of the ufo? Maybe that's what the underside of the cigar ones looks like

i think someone did a simulation including defective predator and destroyer probes, and the conclusion was that they wouldn't prevent the regular ones from spreading throughout the cosmos

the white streaks could be flashing lights at a plane's wingtips. And the point of light in front of each set of streaks could be another light that flashes less frequently, alternating between red and yellow. And the unbroken streaks at the edges could be wing lights that don't flash. I don't know poo poo about airplane lights, and its been forever since i've been on a plane, but wikipedia says airplane lights include green and red wingtip lights that don't flash, along with white lights that do flash, as well as a flashing strobe on the tail, plus some other non-flashing lights here and and there for illuminating the wings and logos and stuff.

but yeah maybe aliens
