"Aliens From "Signs": Why A Hand-To-Hand Conquest?" Topic

Not only is the Truth STRANGER than you imagine…it's stranger than you CAN Imagine….(and it's still 'out there')…

Grey commander to invasion fleet: "Invasion cancelled, raining yet again! Whose idea was it to invade Earth, anyway?"

The answer is real simple: Signs and Independence Day are the same invasion.

Independence Day shows the tooled up, sensible aliens fighting with weapons, armour, etc in order to take out major strategic targets.

Signs is the village idiot aliens who've failed basic training 3 times being sent to do nothing in particular in the arse end of nowhere. In addition to being cretins, some of them have nut allergies, house dust allergies and water allergies, and they forgot to take their anti-histamine tablets.

Maybe the signals of old kung-fu movies finally made it to their world and they wanted to see what humans could really do with bare hands?

Like the Griffin <<Greys>> these also know how it is supposed to be done:

How do they compare with Griffin's? Thank you.

I always thought, to take a sideways manouvre, that the Tenktonese from Alien Nation where an engineered slave race. Consider the facts; They require three individuals to breed, not to mate, which means there is a need for them to take specific individuals with them if they tried to set up and independent colony. Control those individulas, you can limit the population and prevent a breakout, much the same way we do with tailored bacteria in production of biopharmacueticals and such.

Further, their difficulty with sea water, not just pure saline so much, makes it unlikely that they would attempt to escape from a continent on a planet to live on another continent. These features and some others make it look like they were "made" to be slave workers, quite literally. And that's terrible.

As to Mel's grey nemeses, frankly the explanation given by one of the background broadcasts makes more sense to me; These creatures came to harvest humans and it seems were really picky about it. The motives behind _that_ are too complex to imagine.

"These creatures came to harvest humans and it seems were really picky about it."
