If for whatever reason I was observing/running experiments on a grasshopper habitat, I would interject as little as possible, so as to not upset the natural habitat or experiment, but I also probably wouldn't care if they happen to catch me observing them from time to time, from a distance, since they'd have no idea who/what I was. But then, ultimately, if/when they reached a certain level of consciousness, were finally able to understand who/what I was, and perhaps showed that they could put aside their differences and quit fighting with each other, I might finally reveal myself by appearing in their habitat, plain as day. Or, maybe I was subtly influencing their consciousness all along, decade by decade, with the sole purpose of having them arrive at a point at which they we could finally understand/interact with me, and have a meaningful dialogue.
Dang, man, you still aren't getting me.
They could be beings from earth. But! They are as different to us and our understanding of 'moving' through the universe as we are to the trees.
How would you EVER! get a tree to understand what it's like to see, and feel and taste, to be able to walk from place to place, to swim to the bottom of a lake, how would you ever be able to do that? How could you and a tree ever communicate to a point were a tree could understand Vincent Van Gogh?
That is kind what I mean by a being or creature here in earth or tied or tethered to earth somehow. They're just different or above our understanding.
THAT SOUNDS MORE PLAUSIBLE THAN ALIENS!
