    So let me spell it out for you. 1. A year ago, we got buzzed by a really weird interstellar object that is looking increasingly like some sort of galactic sentry buoy. https://www.centauri-dreams.org/2018/10/29/on-oumuamua-thin-films-and-lightsails/ …

        I recently started managing to fall asleep without having to listen to space or weird UFO documentaries and now I'm wondering what crazy theories I'm missing out on.

        On the plus side, hostile aliens capable of interstellar travel would probably just skin our planet with a relativistic rocket. We would literally never see it coming.

        No, they would harvest it for DNA. Novel adaptations are truly the only resource worth landing on planets for.

        Meh. That would take a much higher level of technology than just smashing the planet to bits. For a kinetic-kill weapon, you don’t even need to be able to slow down, let alone return to sender.

        I mean, it's not likely you'd use a RKE to harvest DNA. It alters DNA with high energy particles and more likely just obliterates it with plasma. Better to take over the planet and sample it every few millennia for novel genes.
