Sounds quite plausible, remembering the meteor that fell back then in the area around Tunguska river in Siberia.
But see what you think about it.

For heaven's sake R.u.s.s, stop spreading rumours. Everybody knows that Angry Jesus and his Dinosaur Army of DOOM did 9/11

Artifacts?

Bah! No monoliths!

But why should they write on quartz tablets?
They should have some little space problem in archive their document, so probably they come to use the Earth like a repository...

I knew it !!! I always told you !!!
That's the ultimate proof !!!
High tech plasma written quartz boulders !!!
I'm gonna buy all the boulders that I can find, they gonna be worth a lot of money the day we all will use them to write our stuffs down.

The future is near !!!



QUARTZ !!! BOULDERS !!! The ultimate way to correspond with alien species !!!
And extremely handy to transport over lightyears of space !!!

QUARTZ I tell you.

Always knew it.

Why, then, should humans write on golden tablets? (Remember Voyager?)

As for me - I dont give a s**t to aliens, if that's what are you talking about. If they want something of us - why they don't just simply come here and say hello, we are from planet blah-blah, and we say - hey, you had a long journey, come sit by fire...

I mean, if they think that we are dumb and animals or like that, then hell with them. We have plenty of problems here. And I myself don't know, why in movies and books aliens are described as little green peolpe with big eyes. Why you don't expect human-like race? If God created somebody out there, why He should create some little people than another humans, who won't violate His law as Adam and Eve did.

Sorry for lecture.

I think because our "welcome" might turn out a little bit...hotter than a small campfire. If you saw any of the USA Vs. Aliens movies you would know how our general reaction to visitors would look like.

They are not particularly interested in us, but the problem is, if we don't get interested in them (including deeper exploration into space and scientifical pursuit for the reason being) then our civilization will come to an effective halt earlier or later. You see, there's always some goal in existence / life. And what is the goal in our current civilization? Faster computers? Getting international terrorists to shut up? And what then? Boredom. Stagnation. Scarce resources, dying out nature and irritation of human against other human, which is ultimately a world war.
There has to be a new direction in our civilization, and that soon, because our civilization has already began to stagnate, the signs of which would be noticeable to anyone watching with attention.

Yes indeed, there have been absolutely no technological breakthroughs in the last 20 years.
