    I told myself it was in all likelihood nothing special, but I'm still disappointed. Darn.

    I think it is about time the world realizes that the ETs have been here all along and we are their handiwork. They've left us an important message which we refuse to acknowledge. We willfully blind ourselves to it. Why? Because we want an ET of our own making.

    Look at it this way: The singularity already happened and the visible universe is the result. The real ETs are way too advanced to use cheesy low-tech EM signals for communication.
