Tip’gnap stared at the human in front of him. Their eyes locked in a moment of eternity, frozen in the little alien’s mind. Studied. Analysed. Observed. This strange creature he had been reading about for earthly centuries, now standing in front of him. Communication. Strictly forbidden, still here he was. Locked in eye contact.
Some earth days before he had arrived at earth’s only natural satellite. He had been sent down to do his end of studies field work, the study of human kind.
The emotional ecosystem of earth is extremely fragile, G’maeth had said, as if Tip’gnap didn’t know. You must not by any means be seen or in other ways noticed my any earthly creature, especially not humans.
The eyes of the human told a story of deep wonder. Awe and fear. It was seeing something it had no idea existed. It’s world was changed drastically from one moment to the other.
The stealth suit came back into function. The alien disappeared. Mek was standing in the room alone, wondering if he was going crazy. Was it some kind of spirit? An alien or a god? He shrugged it off and left the hut. His sister came running towards him. She had caught a lizard and was very exited. Soon the little encounter was just a little happening in the past.

Man! So close to an alien encounter…yet…forgotten. How many times has that happened, I wonder?

Who knows. I think I would probably do more or less the same, just think wow, that’s a vivid hallucinaton, and move on …

Haha! You won’t find if it doesn’t want you to, that’s for sure. And no one will believe you anyway, so… Hallucinations, that’s what it was 😀

Thanks for reading. I like to put myself in the position of creatures that are different from me. Gives a different perspective (pointing out the obvious :D)

I’m jealous of your paintings 😛 You have your own unique style that’s very pleasing to look at. I wish I had the courage to use watercolors, I just use acrylics. How long have you been painting for? Also, Tip’gnap and G’maeth are sweet alien names.

Thanks a lot! Difficult question, though. Depends how you count, I guess. I haven’t always been painting, but I’ve always been drawing. These are liquid pigment ink, my favourite 🙂 I think there’s a link to a Youtube course on my Liquid Ink – story.

Ah my mistake! I think I might have to try them out, they make a beautiful effect. I’ll check out that youtube course 🙂

It’s my favourite colour technique for sure. You need to let the ink work on its own quite a bit. Feels like magic sometimes 🙂

Once I wrote a story about why it might be impossible to have an alien encounter.

I think we’d detect it as long as it’s material, though. Anything non-material would on the other hand probably be out of reach.

If you clicked on the link I posted in the last comments and read the story, you’ll see the theory behind why we might miss such an encounter.

I did. Still think the same 🙂 But we could easily miss it, of course.

Stephen Hawking thinks we should stop looking for aliens 👽 as they might actually land here and they may not be very friendly to us.

I read that. If they are similar to us they would probably be bad news 😀
