Extraterrestrial Contact: Annoying Movie Aliens

Judging from the movies, aliens are a real pain in the butt. If they aren’t busy destroying our planet they are annoyingly mysterious, designing puzzles for us to ponder, and scaring us half to death in the process. The latest rendition is courtesy of the TV show “Nightflyers.” An extraterrestrial spaceship is found in deep space and it doesn’t respond to any messages. Humans send a spaceship to meet the ship, in hopes that the aliens or artificial intelligence running the ship will provide us the technology to help Earth cope with widespread illness and other issues caused by over-population and climate change. Throughout the first episodes, the aliens remain an enigma. They sometimes present challenges, such as sending back a probe the Earthlings have sent to them, and combining it with biological material, but with no word of explanation. Such a plot makes perfect sense for television. It builds suspense and gives the characters some challenges to overcome. In reality, those type of actions would be a waste of time and energy.

It seems hard to believe that aliens would arrive in our solar system or make contact without a specific reason for doing so. Now, perhaps the aliens would want to be left alone. If they didn’t have the technology to stay unobserved, one would figure they could at least simply push us away or blow up our spacecraft? It seems like a lot of work to torture humans with riddles.

The movie “Arrival” had much the same premise- mysterious aliens and challenges for humans to understand. However, that film explained it quite neatly. The aliens presented the challenges to bring humans together and to help us understand their language, which also taught us a whole different way of understanding the universe. I can accept that aliens might have a different way of reaching out to us than we might expect, but deliberately trying to confuse us seems like a lot of work. Why couldn’t the aliens in “Arrival” have simply told us they had a message for the whole world, and then explained their way of language and thinking? I can’t imagine we wouldn’t listen to such an explanation.

If aliens have developed the technology to come to our solar system or contact us in some other manner, they would be good problem solvers. You don’t conquer interstellar travel by being obtuse. The idea of an elegant solution, the simplest and most direct way to solve a problem, seems likely to be a universal goal. Thus one would imagine that if aliens set out to greet humans someday they would do so in the most effective way possible. They would find the most elegant solution. They would have a reason for wanting to make contact. They would do the planning needed to meet their goals as efficiently as possible. It would be easy to research human beings. A probe in Earth orbit could link to our Internet by tapping into a satellite. The human web would provide all the information necessary to learn our language, understand our society, and investigate human psychology. Now there could be some culture gaps along the way, but a basic understanding of humans would seem to be a pre-requisite for saying hello, if aliens are the ones who reach out. If we reach out first, via a long distance communication, then it could be a very complex and involved process of learning languages and establishing even basic understanding.

Weird aliens are great for drama, but not for getting things done. I would imagine that if we do make alien First Contact someday, the aliens will be very, very different from us. However, if they have the technology to travel to our solar system, it would seem likely they would have the smarts to do research and acquire an understanding of humans before saying hello. Let’s hope so. I hate riddles.
