i also think that there could be viruses zooming around the universe, some sort of signal that makes lifeforms want to build radio telescopes and rebroadcast the signal until the universe is singing the same hymn and whoever is running the sim gets pissed off and shuts us down

This displeases Dev- ..van. Shut up.
Imagine Trump trying to impress aliens with various boasts about gold buildings and voter turnout. They're all like, "We traveled countless light years to sp-" and then he cuts them off to tell them about how he has a golf course in Scotland, and it's the best.

Now imagine he gets really mad at the aliens when they don't seem duly impressed by his hot daughter or whatever, so he send several aircraft carriers into space in order to send em a message. Just launches the fuckers, unmodified for space flight and fully crewed, into the void.

or, another scenario

earth's neutrino detectors go nuts, receiving some sort of binary code, on off on off 01011100101110111010001010
the data is recorded even though the neutrino scientists are pissed that someone is loving up their experiments. the stream of neutrinos seem to come from the core of the milky way
scientists around the world get to work cracking the code, years go by with zero progress decoding whatever it is, the public loses interest quickly
the transmission ends
we still don't know whatever the gently caress

eons later, post-humanity finally arives at the source of the neutrino signals and finds out that it was just some insect level alien species with no intelligence that spewed out neutrinos as part of their biochemical process

Silent white light filled the world. And the righteous and unrighteous alike were consumed in that holy fire.
One of my deeply paranoid aquantences believed that Hillary Clinton was going to use her power as leader of the free world to stage a massive "alien invasion" via holograms. She would use this E.T. false flag to bring humanity under one banner in a unified yet tyrannical New World Order

It is possible that Trump saved us from that

She did dress very science fictiony. And she can't describe why she wants to run. She has a fanatical circle of insiders. Support of the American Deep State, and the Soroses of the world.

A single majestic vessel glides out of orbit over Washington and hovers gracefully over the National Mall. A ramp extends and a lithe being ventures forth. To an awed onlooker it pronounces "we have seen your cattes on the Joo-Toobe and have come to offer tribute unto them."

Alien leader extends his graceful hand towards Earth's delegate and whispers "Teach me what makes you human"
