If there are aliens, what will they look like?

My interpretation of the original question .

I suspect that the current from all of that water falling off the edge is so strong that no boat can keep from going over with it. I've heard that's where Amelia Earhart really met her demise.

I've wondered why the water would "fall" off the world's edge. Gravity being what it is and all. i.e. fiction.

Maybe it's true, "There is no gravity, the world just sucks."

Good point, I hadn't thought of that. It's a good thing that I didn't become a scientist.

Regarding travel to the edge of the world. The only thing I have seen presented is that "We can't go there".
Something about a "no go zone" enforced by "governments" in order to keep some terrible mystery "hidden". It sure seems like a big perimeter to keep sealed up.

To bring this post on topic, It has been proposed that the hidden mystery is ALIENS!

Full circle! ;-)

I do find it very interesting that if "going to the edge of space", all directions will take one BACK in time.

It's not like "The big bang" happened in one spot, and if you look back to the spot you look back in time. and looking the opposite way looks ahead. Rather, the BANG happened EVERYWHERE (or nowhere) and all directions look back in time. **
Just like "all directions look away from the center of a flat earth. Even if some journeys would first pass over and through the center to get to the other side.

I'm working on a method to produce a very deep hole. The Mohorovsiic and beyond. A flat earth must have a thickness. I just want to know what that is. I'm thinking LASER ABLATION will be the tool of choice. Self cauterizing and all that. I'm a bit ambivalent about breaking through the far side. What if all the air got sucked out of this side????
Heck, If it doesn't work out after going in a dozen kilometers or so, I'll put a cover on the hole and use it for trash disposal. ;-)

Sorry, i get very stupid when I'm sober. Lets just ask the question, of what benefit we would get from encountering aliens?

They have bacon.

It's made from humans, but it's bacon.

Oh to be Bruce McCandless. Man, what a ride!

Many times I've gone outside to watch the ISS fly over. Just impressive as heck.

I also like setting up the telescope in the yard to look at Saturn and it's rings and moons. Last fall I had the kids, my son in-law and wife all take a look. They were impressed.

Perhaps "things" are not all they appear to be.

Leave room for the unexpected.

winter is the best! But hard to "track" with gloves or mittens on. ;-)

OK, I've got the answer to the ORIGINAL POSTED QUESTION!

Visual proof of what aliens actually look like.

It's TRUE, I saw it on the interweb.
