I was able to get it to play, but, the ship and video itself are unconvincing

I just dont understand why they would program in a little light show, it dosent seem functional and instead just makes me think of a guy in cluttered garage going "well, itll look cool" as they flash an arduino to cycle through leds for a fun hobby project

Maybe im cynical, but i find it hard to beleive aliens would go through all the trouble of getting here and add that kind of flair - and if the aliens really wanted to be noticed surely they could just hover and do tricks over a populated city - or idk - use their advanced technology and civilization to say hello, drop a leaflet, or just land in central park and shake our hand - if the stories are to be beleived and theyve been around forever, surely by now theyd know who we are and how to make an introduction at this point

So, either these are the most capable but socially inept aliens ever, or its a more mundane human made hobby - or who knows, maybe putting on a 70s light show was their whole goal and thats all they have to say which would probably be even more dissapointing than the hobbiest in his garage
