Over the past decade, scientists have detected a puzzling phenomenon: radio pulses coming from within our Milky Way galaxy that would pulse every two hours, like a cosmic heartbeat. The long radio blasts, which lasted between 30 and 90 seconds, appeared to come from the direction of the Ursa Major constellation, where the Big Dipper is located.

Bummer. Aliens would have been perfect for my 2025 bingo card.

And not the good ones like ET. We talking Predators and Independence Day.

Predator aliens would at least be better than the aliens from Independence day. As long as you don't present yourself as a threat and they aren't actively hunting you, they will leave you alone.

What if I want to call em „Daddy“?

Isn't "Mommy" more appropriate? I mean, whatever makes y'all happy, though. I applaud your healthy relationship, should you manage to establish one.
