Strange Arrivals is a production of I-Heart Radio and Grim and Mild from Aaron Mankey.

All right, I think that the panel has been very patient, I'm sure very interested in everything

has been said, and perhaps we might ask who would like to start the questioning,

back to second.

Well, I'd like to begin the questioning if I may with one general line of inquiry.

Our present understanding of the evolution of life on Earth is that it's a slow process of evolution by natural selection.

The human beings are the product of several billions of years of

of random mutation accidental effects

leading up to what we are now.

Now other planets certainly have environments quite different

from those on the earth and therefore we would

expect that beings that evolved there would have even greater differences and

would not look closely like human beings and that's why I was interested to see that the

characterization of the inhabitants of the supposed extraterrestrial space vehicle where

with a few minor differences, very closely human.

Head, two eyes, something like a nose, mouth, hands, feet,

and so on.

It seemed to me that much more likely that this was putting

projecting human experience on to perhaps something else. I think the thing

that strikes me most is the fact that not only did these creatures

breathe the Earth's atmosphere with no difficulty, but you were able to breathe the spacecraft's

atmosphere with no difficulty.
