In 1953, we experienced what can only be described as a war of the worlds. If it wasn't for common everyday bacteria attacking the aliens' immune systems, they would've won this war, and you and I would not be having this conversation!
But we are having this conversation, which I don't want! So I fail to see your point!
My point is that although the bacteria stopped the aliens, I don't think it killed them!
Excuse me, but I think you have been sitting too close to your television set.
Really? How do you explain the radio signals? How do you account for the barrels? The barrels that entombed what were supposed to be dead aliens forced open from the inside?! What the hell happened to the hundreds of other barrels that used to be stored in that location?!
Just because I don't have an answer doesn't mean there isn't a logical explanation for your... paranoia!!
I am attempting to offer you a logical explanation. In 1953, bacteria forced the aliens into a state of hibernation, or suspended animation or estivation or anabiosis. I don't know the terms; that's your field, not mine. But now, something has happened to wake the aliens up. That nuclear disposal site was hot with radioactivity, right? Maybe that's it. Maybe the bacteria which infected the aliens is now being wiped out by exposure to radiation.
So now, the aliens, hundreds of them...
At least!
...are loose?
Yes!
You're nuttier than I thought.
That doesn't make me wrong! At least listen to my proof!
