Aliens - what will they look like

What do you think the first aliens we discover will look like? I think they will be kinda like humans and octopus mixed together - genuine question!

For a variety of reasons, we're more likely to look for aliens in environments that more closely resemble our own, so there may well be lifeforms that resemble what we're used to — they have organs to view the same range of visible light as we do, for example, and communicate primarily through sound generation. But that's entirely speculation. We may not have detected aliens yet because the closest species to us communicates through color manipulation on its skin, lives underwater and hasn't developed the sort of electronic technology like we have.

Won't know until we get there, likely.

@DunningKruger that makes sense with us going there. Perfect logic. But we coild also discover life we find hard to recognize mining or what if it comes
to us?

@Jennster It's unlikely that anything is going to come to us, or we to it, unless we find it somewhere in our own solar system (in the oceans of Europa under the ice, perhaps). It's entirely like that our first discovery of alien life will be that we detect in the atmosphere of an exoplanet the hallmarks of life that can't be explained through purely chemical and geological processes, and that may mean that there's a planet covered in some sort of plant-like matter, or a carpet of mold-like spores. All this will be done through advanced telescopic studies of exoplanets, likely. Considering all the factors on Earth that had to line up just right to allow for the evolution of technology using beings, it's entirely likely that this is a rare occurrence throughout the cosmos, perhaps happening only a handful of times within our galaxy and then highly unlikely that any two happen at the same time. Perhaps someday we'll be able to detect the remnants of a technological species that died out a billion years ago. Who knows?

@DunningKruger wow that’s kinda sad in a way. But wouldn’t it amazing to be an alien archaeologist!
It depends on where they’re from. Avians, Alpha Draconians, Greys, Pleidians, etc all would look different.
@Jennster my guess will be the Greys. Short, spindly bodies with big heads.

@666Maggotz ohh I’m kinda lowkey creeped out by them - Is it true they probe humans? What alien species would you most like to meet?
@Jennster I’m not really sure lol I want to meet the Alpha Draconians.

They will have some form of central nervous system like a head with the sensory organs on one spot. Probably have some kind of way of manipulation objects with some dexterity.

If the conspiracy theorists about greys are true, they'll look like this: 👽 The theory being that that image has been used as the archetypal image of extraterrestrial life so that if people ever encounter them they will be a sense of familiarity so we're not crapping ourselves when we come in contact with them.

Though I like the idea of them looking like something from that Discovery mockumentary Alien Planet in that they're truly alien and bear little resemblance to anything found on Earth.

@Ducky the greys lowkey creep me out. Maybe I head too many probing stories. Seriously - I don’t find them cute at all. Maybe that’s what they want us to think. I wonder if the life we see we will even really understand :)

I wonder if there will be a standard of beauty for them. I mean, like those are some hot tentacles lol
Jennster · 18-21, F
@StevetheSleeve no k1nk shaming lol

Having seen a UFO I guess they do exist. The reports all suggest they come in a couple versions. I'd prefer to meet a nordic.
Jennster · 18-21, F
@Tastyfrzz wow what did you see
Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M
@Jennster August of '79 in Moorhead, MN. Three of us were outside after our first week in college when we saw a circle of moving colored lights above us. Like a disk on edge and tipped. Clouds at ~700 feed so i figured it was about 50 feet in diameter. Going against the wind. No sound. Called it in. That same night a policeman north of us ran into a ball of light. His car is in a museum now. [media=https://youtu.be/bXhjkwhNsLE]

@Tastyfrzz that’s the most convincing thing I’ve seen in terms of them visiting!

I think there might be a bit of microscopic single cell bacteria out there somewhere close enough by if we're really lucky, lolz.😅

I believe there are many various aliens who all look different. Kinda like Star Trek.
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
I like the idea that humans exist somewhere in the stars. Maybe they are us.
Barefooter25 · 46-50, M
They'll most likely be Vulcans. 🖖

Like amoebas I think
