Alien Tape!

Does anyone actually think that IF we were visited by "Aliens", now I'm talking about sure nuff outer space "Aliens", they'd actually leave us with a roll of tape to reverse engineer? I can't even imagine "sloppy Aliens" that would leave a partial roll laying around. I mean, how sloppy could they be? They got here didn't they?

No, The adhesive is made up of ground up Aliens, not horses. Don't tell anybody.

That is maybe the strangest question I have ever seen on Pelican.

And no, any extraterrestrial alien would either land in public and say howdy, or be totally unknown to us. I have little doubt that in this unimaginably huge universe other intelligent beings exist. I just can't believe out of the trillions of worlds out there any have come to visit our little corner of a very average galaxy, and ordinary solar system.

they could be them

or they could be us

the UFO'S are something but what and from where

some think space''men'' or aliens maybe but kind of unlikely
as the distances are just insanely huge

or time travelers from our future who are studying history but do not interact
as they fear changes to the time line
maybe as some hints about time and space are being studied
and seam to say maybe we can send devices if not people back in time

so there are two choices not just extraterrestrial but also us looking back

There is just nothing even remotely secret about tape. There are lots of special tapes for all sorts of special unique uses. 3M makes a ton of different tapes. No extraterrestrials needed.

Now if someone finds a book that explains how women think, that would be from the far far future, or extraterrestrial aliens.

I would imagine the first edition would be full of sticky notes.

I saw a documentary about this a while ago.

Tape?

You've said too much.

Mr. Anderson is not happy about this.

Pure irony would be them leaving a Betamax tape behind with all the technical details for FTL travel.

Betamax was the better format.

Few know this, but "Klaatu barada nikto" actually means, "Buy our tape".

It’s 2 sided tape and very sticky… I just assumed it was like fly paper but for catching aliens…

...but what about "Tape Aliens?" I mean...maybe the aliens look and act like tape! In fact, there may be alien "tape imposters" surrounding us as we speak! Think that's always Duct Tape at the local hardware store? Think again!

I'll bet they have great glue. I know they bleed like molecular acid.
