First Contact

so after it landed something grey walked out of it down a ramp that looked like it couldn't have been part of the ship moments ago they appeared familiar with where they stood blue bottle eyes scanning old friends from millennia ago I think he was trying to put one of his three fingers on what had changed, passing clouds smirking as they drifted by, anyway, to cut a long story short, they seemed a bit put out and it was all a little awkward

Clive, thanks so much, I was thinking the same. I thought perhaps I might be missing something.

Hi Mark, my silly sense of humour on the premise that aliens visit but it's not actually their first time here, now millenia after, we've collectively forgotten who they are and the meeting was awkward haha, the ancient alien theorists might like it.
