Have you ever wondered what aliens might think about us? I realise that this is a difficult question because first you have to believe they are out there, and secondly you need to believe that there is some similarity in thinking and communication. However, just for the moment, let’s say/assume they are watching, and that their thinking processes are not so different from humans.
