Aliens on Earth. Are reports of close encounters correct?

TL;DR

This paper explores whether reports of close encounters with extraterrestrials are based on actual alien behavior, proposing that cultural memes may originate from real alien interactions, offering a potential solution to the Fermi paradox.

Contribution

It introduces the hypothesis that social memes about aliens could stem from genuine alien behaviors observed during visits, challenging conventional explanations based on cultural influence.

Findings

Proposes that alien encounter reports may be based on real alien behavior.

Suggests that cultural memes could originate from actual alien interactions.

Offers a new perspective on the Fermi paradox by linking observed behaviors to extraterrestrial visits.

Abstract

Popular culture (movies, SF literature) and witness accounts of close encounters with extraterrestrials provide a rather bizarre image of Aliens behavior on Earth. It is far from stereotypes of human space exploration. The reported Aliens are not missions of diplomats, scientists nor even invasion fleets; typical encounters are with lone ETs (or small groups), and involve curious behavior: abductions and experiments (often of sexual nature), cattle mutilations, localized killing and mixing in human society using various methods. Standard scientific explanations of these social memes point to influence of cultural artifacts (movies, literature) on social imagination, projection of our fears and observations of human society, and, in severe cases, psychic disorder of the involved individuals. In this work we propose an alternate explanation, claiming that the memes might be the result of observations of actual behavior of true Aliens, who, visiting Earth behave in a way that is then reproduced by such memes. The proposal would solve, in natural way, the Fermi paradox.
