people just like us, who don't look like us and live on different worlds circling different suns and breathing different air. and each world of them just as alien to each other as each of them are to us. there are other and simpler answers of course, from other and more mundane perspectives. but the above is what interests me. monsters are a roll playing fantasy, but weird looking people from different worlds are cool. and dispite the prejudice and chauvanism of pristhoods, invisible people are mostly harmless and decent too.
The best one I heard was that Grays and Pleadians are two different schisms of Humans from the future: the Pleadians were benevolent, social, and focused on betterment of humanity; the Grays are hive mentality, apathetic, nihilistic, and are just here since they watered down their genetic code and need fresh samples. Watch the youtube movies about Dan Burisch from Project Camelot...interesting to say the least...
You know what else is interesting? 'Little Red Riding Hood.' You can get entire books of fairytales pretty cheap these days.
people are people are people, whatever world they're from. yah, people from one world look really weird and funny to people from another, but appearance is just appearance, and appearance prejudice is just racism on another scale. i don't believe any of the worlds I lived on in my previous lives were this one. someone from somewhere might have three arms and walk on their fingers or something but they're still just people.
Why would you assume that people from other planets would be just like us? Unless we all descended from the same source, I see no reason to assume any similarity at all...
why would one assume that other sentient life forms resemble a human form at all.. or conscious, whatever word you choose.. nitpicking on a philosophical level and i'm too lazy for it right now
One would figure though that they would have to be able to manipulate objects. Such as how humanoids do w/ their fingers. All of this is always up for speculation of course. Hopefully extraterrestrials do not try to wipe out their own species. But that is a complicated matter. Once we are able to avoid this, we may be able to evolve how a species is supposed to. Instead of killing each other over a catchup packet.
