I was watching a documentary about the 1996 Varginha incident in Brazil — where military allegedly captured an injured extraterrestrial being. The creature was described as frightened, crying and alone. It died in captivity shortly after. And my first thought wasn’t “were they real?” My first thought was “of course we pointed guns at it.” Because that’s what we do. We are mammals who have completely forgotten that we ARE mammals. We share this planet with incredibly intelligent, emotional creatures — dolphins, elephants, whales — and we cage them, exploit them or ignore them. We fight wars over lines drawn in sand. We hoard resources while people sleep under buildings that sit empty. We claim to follow religions built on compassion and use them as weapons instead. So honestly — if you were an alien civilization watching Earth from a distance… Would you stop here?
