Why do alien spacecraft look like the alien species? Human spacecraft aren't ape-shaped. Otoh human car grilles are like faces. Hmm.

. hmm... Didn't think that about shuttle. But Nimbus on Futurama does have a grin that resembles Zapp Brannigan's. Deliberate I expect.

So the craft shouldn't look like the aliens to us, but due to their own pareidolia they might look like the aliens to them.

have you *seen* Star Trek alien craft? Much more literal-minded. Green craft for green species, ridged craft for ridged ones...

you suffer from acute Paradoeliasis. Car grilles deliberate design. Everything else projected.

sigh, ceramic tiles for reentry. SR-71 Blackbird designed by/for black people by your logic.
