An Open Letter From The UFO Videos Released by the Department of Defense
Hello.
I’m sorry, are we boring you?
Because we remember a lot of you were going to “storm area 51” not so long ago.
But OK. Whatever. We get it.
It’s the end of April and you’ve been stuck inside teaching your kids Algebra between Zoom meetings and your third Jack and Coke.
I guess if we wanted to get your attention we should have jumped on your news feed at the start of the month.
Or at least before a world leader suggested you mainline bleach.
Those pandas in Hong Kong. They got the timing right.
Remember them?
Ten years of, “Naw. Maybe something better will come along”, then they finally mate. And you raise a glass of covidwine to Ying Ying and Le Le for giving you hope. That got your attention.
And who are we anyway?
A vision of the universe that tells you,undeniably, how tiny and insignificant and how…rare, and precious you all are! A vision that tells you that you belong to something that is greater than yourselves.
We took that from Jodie Foster playing Eleanor Arroway in Contact.
